🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals in the Navigation Rules • Meaning of a prolonged blast and when it must be used • Situations of restricted visibility or obstructed view in a narrow channel or fairway

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When you cannot see oncoming traffic around a bend, what signal does the Rules require you to give to warn other vessels of your presence? • Which of these choices matches the definition and duration of a prolonged blast as described in the sound signals rule? • Are you required to address a specific vessel, or to signal any vessel that may be hidden around the bend?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in Rule 34 that a prolonged blast is defined as a whistle blast of about 4 to 6 seconds in duration. • Confirm that the Rule requires this signal when approaching an area where other vessels may be obscured by an intervening obstruction (like a high bank on a bend). • Check which option describes the required warning signal itself, not a general navigation practice like staying mid-channel or stopping engines.
