GWC: I remember a fisherman telling me of almost being run over by the Mount in a fog during daylight hours
|
I've wondered about this for a while (say 40 years!) When there is fog on the lake I have never heard the Mount or any other commercial vessel (or any vessel) sounding fog horns. A long blast
(5 seconds) of your regular horn once every two minutes if I recall without looking it up. (Edit; I looked it up, rule 35)
I do recall the owner of a boat dealership telling me the story of how he was almost run down in the fog by a classic wooden boat near Sandy Point in Alton Bay years ago. He said he knew were he was going but this boat just apeared out of the fog. Neither was sounding a horn!

GWC: then there was the court situation involving the Sophie C and a woman boater and the 150 rule - the Sophie C lost.

Speed limit issues?, I doubt it. Rules issue, yep!
