🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (especially the part about bends or areas where vessels may be obscured) • Difference between danger signal (five or more short and rapid blasts) and required signals in restricted visibility around bends • How vessels use sound signals in channels and fairways to indicate their presence when vision is blocked

💭 Think About

• Which rule specifically talks about approaching a bend or an area where other vessels may be hidden from view? What sound signal does it call for? • Is this situation about risk of collision already existing, or about preventing a situation by making your presence known? How does that affect whether the danger signal is appropriate? • In a river or channel, what is your normal side to navigate on, and what sound signal (if any) is prescribed in the Rules for this precise situation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Navigation Rules, Rule 34 what signal is required when nearing a bend or an area where other vessels may be obscured by an intervening obstruction • Confirm the exact definition and use of the danger signal (five or more short and rapid blasts) and whether the Rules say to use it just because you cannot see around a bend • Check that the chosen option matches both the correct sound signal (length and number of blasts) and the described situation (approaching a bend with obscured visibility)
