Yea, just noticed the little blury ensign in the middle. Probably as raptor said Croatian is probaly it.:yep:

Seeing as the whatever-it-is does not overlap with the top and bottom parts of the ensign, I would say it is almost certainly Paraguay

hmmm, it could be ither one of the two, kind of hard to make out.

LOL :lol:

Starbord to Starbord... pfffft... more like stupid to stupid.

But Ive seen worse, much worse, first hand.

One of them cigarrette boats ripping through bear cut at some 40 knots slamming into the side of a fishnig charter. It wasent pretty.

Thats one of the busiest cuts in Biscayne Bay. Theres a reason the 20mph signs are there.

I blame Bush.

I believe the larger vessel has the right of way. I'm going with Hunter on this one////BBBBBEEEERRRRRNNNNAAAAARRRRDDDD!!!!!:nope:

Always check the headroom of a bridge

Sorry Sir, you'll have to take a number and wait in line just like everyone else.

Absolutely correct. The rule is that if you can see a red (port) light you must give way, as the ship to starboard has the right-of-way. This of course assumes that the ships are the same size, and there are other rules as well.

On the other hand, no-one at sea should ever assume anything, which is why things like this happen.

Nah nah nah, it is clearly Obama's fault because he changed so much that it confused everybody else! :rotfl:

I don't blame the captains or crew.
It's hard to sail in such dense fog and poor visibility, especially when the sea is so rough.
A lot of people forget how hard it can be to manage such old fashioned ships in these conditions.

Both should have communicated their intentions by whistle signal (one short blast), radio or by making an obvious and timely course change. Each are responsible to take action to avoid collision and should have altered their course to starboard.


However, no matter what the circumstance of the case admit the little boat should always be aware of the rule of gross tonnage. In a collision the big boat wins so stay out of it's way or you'll get run over ;)

It seems to me that the little boat should have gone to periscope depth. :yep: :p
