@ Anthony,,correct
day signal..and all the tugs involved would show tow signals
@Nigel
there is no common sense for them. !!! I by myself made a stop and than a astern
full 1/4 mile before passing in Tampa Bay under the bridge because someone decided to anchor under the bridge in the middle of the fairway and goes fishing !!!!!
Did not move on blasting the horn 5 times ,,a few times,,,no reply when we called on
VHF,, and so on. But was shouting up to us when we finally passed that we inconvenienced him !!!
It is just incredible what happens out there. I was with my present ship , UBC Tampico, 5 times !!!! controlled by port state controls (MOU) in ports in the last 6 month. Pleasure crafts are not controlled whatsoever !!!!!
