i took a well deserved day off yesterday,did a little fishin' on the bertram with some buddies.fog was thick yesterday,and i mean real thick !!
now,being a vetran of running in the dark and the fog,using radar,i got no problems heading out.the problems begin when there's the guys who have absolutley no experience,these guys are out in the fog,no radar,and they're running blind...what are people thinking idea? running through the harbor yesterday,on the way to the inlet,i had small boat guys just zig zaging around the channel idea? this is a danger to other boats-what i'm saying is,if you're not sure how to operate the boat,than please,pick another day to go out,why risk it for yourself and others.and last point,drifting in the channel,coat guard rules clearly state,a boat should not impede passage of a narrow channel or farway
remember this when you're drifting through a narrow channel...
