I couldn't find it in any uscg boating regulations or anywhere on the txpwd website.

Our local Harric County water po po says the same thing ... lights on .. back off to idle......

It must be an unwritten rule. I can't find it anywhere. I did find a rule that states if the capt of the vessel feels as though changing speed or course puts his vessel and crew in harm then he can remain on same course at same speed. This was the case in the channel I was in. I guess if they want us to follow their laws they probably need to make them public. Lol

Thanks for the birthdays. I agree with Dr. Andy in that I need a new boat, but not in that I need a new project.

OK, Biatches.... What day is it? Hump day!

For those of you who care, we will have the first "marina night" on Friday. Grub, booze, and good times on the 200 dock.

What is the plan for Sat.? Aggies vs. Alabama? This is going to be a great game which I plan to enjoy pool side. Any one else in?
