Boat on the hook

[Capt. Lou]

Well u may be correct but to my way of thinking 2 components on your radar system VRM & EBL help out for sure !
One is an electronic beAring line , the other range to target . This may help especially as you pointed out buoy 11 is in a critical location ! These buoys should also appear on radar . This vessel looks to have grounded on a SW course so both of those tip of hook buoys should have appeared on radar as to starboard side of vessel That alone should have been concerning for sure .
Radar would help if know what to look for and be able to interpret same . Running at night requires caution at best , only one thing worse night in the fog!
