[B][I][U] So even if there was/is a lookout they don’t know what they are supposed to be doing!! They don’t know lights, point system…The companies operating those boats will do the MINIMUM when it comes to USCG[/U][/I][/B]
if they are on the bridge, working under the master, mate then the master, master should have mentioned the pointy end from the wheelie end, the OICNW should have instructed the lookout, weather they have RFPNW or not in what was expected, i did not have a license for several years in the yachting business and was driving hte boats better then the mates that had a license, only because I wanted to learn, having a license does not mean you know what you are doing, same as having the RFPNW, does not mean you know what you are doing, it is someone willingness to learn and do the job correctly
how much did the captain of the exxon valdez spend for his schooling and look what happened,
