Boating 101 - 7

[sloopy]

You see a row of lights. From top to bottom it is red, white, red, and then a little further down there is another white light. You know it is a boat but you are shocked to see it run into Drownedrat's boat (RATS boat was showing red, green and a white stern light) Drowned rat's boat had right of way (at least you think it did) and it was hit by the ship with the row of lights. <br /><br />WHY DIDN'T THE BOAT WITH THE ROW OF LIGHTS MOVE?<br /><br />Hint, You see the boat with the row of lights from the back. And in this scenario, Rat does not know anything about boat lighting. Thus he got run over.<br /><br />Owe and the RAt does live through it, without a scratch.

The vessel showing that configuration of vertical red-white-red lights IS always the stand-on vessel because of it's restricted manuvering capabilities..

The vessel with the row of lights was restricted in maneuverability.

You're just jealous I'm smarter than you SLOOPY. Stick to your little blow boat and you'll stay out of trouble.<br /><br />Regards,<br />The Rat.
