( when in push gear we are about 475' long)<br />The larger vessel (us) is expected to stay within the channel in order to avoid smaller boats.<br />So, in a nutshell, the small little sailboats are not supposed to be in the channel...ever.<br /><br />But, if we are 50 miles offshore and come across a sailboat, the sailboat has the right of way.<br /><br />Source) Coast Guard navigational rules of the road # 9 and 10.<br /><br />Thank you very much...I'll be here all week!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916901728508991420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7651375935571245232.post-601471118897172782010-05-02T18:32:52.172-07:002010-05-02T18:32:52.172-07:00I love these posts Mark.
