But I have to tell you that those "rules" do not conform to any International convention for navigation that I know of. And if you dont want to have every local jurisdiction in the country impose their own ideas of whats "safe" then you might want to use that argument to keep them from making you wear sunglasses at night. And while Paul Hayward might assume that no agency "enforces" those ColRegs then he's never bought voyage insurance because there are places you cannot send a ship if you want it insured. And those places pay very high shipping rates to those willing to undertake the risk on their own. If you want service, then you have to play by the Rules. :) Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA www.nwkayaking.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
