Common Sense In The Fog

[Capt. Debbie]

Don't forget, the BS license was just added. For years you did not even need that. And passing an exam, CG or otherwise, is no substitute for sea days. Living that crap, is a world of difference from talking about it in a class room.

First time a capt runs into a tide v. wind on an inlet and sees 10' rollers it separates the men from the boys w/ or w/o paperwork. LOL

Thought the same thing when we ran up to romers in the fog last week.

When the fog lifted i was appalled by the amount of boats that rode out and anchored up in the fog with no radar cc/with kids.

With all the new gps out there some people believe it is just ok to drive with them????

Same guys who says we had 1mile vis will be the guy running you over when it closes up...

No vis- no radar - stay home

Exams or licenses have nothing to do with it

One of the main reason why those who have to go in it hate it... OTHER PEOPLE ...

Same old song every year
