That sucks sako.
There needs to be a "too fast for conditions" kind of rule.
I understand vessels traveling in navigable waters shouldn't need to be
slowed down under normal conditions, however, during certain times
of year there are idiots that think they need to scream across the water in
the dark and fog with no regard for smaller craft. It is a very dangerous
situation to be sure. It's not like they are heading out to sea, they are
speeding close to shore and in shallow water where non-motorized craft
are present. Even if you see them coming you likely won't be able to evade them.
Perhaps this is an issue we need to work on. I have no problem slowing down.
A day hunting isn't worth killing someone.

There is this rule.  I almost got a ticket from the C.G. for going "too fast" in the fog in the middle of Rosario Strait, being that I did not have radar (I didn't want to spend any more time than I had to in the shipping channel).  But, this probably has to be enforced by the C.G.   :dunno:

Back to topic.   :chuckle:

My apologies for the deviation. Won't happen again. I'm blaming Scout/Sniper.
