🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Navigation Rules – Sound and Light Signals (Rules 34 & 35) • Difference between course change signals and meeting/overtaking intentions on inland waters • Meaning of one short blast in an Inland meeting situation (not turning in open water)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: On INLAND waters, are short blast whistle signals usually describing what you are doing with your rudder, or how you intend to pass another vessel? • Think about a head‑on or near head‑on situation: if you and another vessel are meeting, what does your one‑blast signal tell the other captain about which side you want to pass on? • Compare the wording "turning" versus "intend to leave you on" – which sounds more like the standard Inland meeting signal language?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the Inland Rules that one short blast is defined in terms of intention to pass (how you will meet the other vessel), not just a helm order. • Check which side of your vessel the other vessel will be on if you alter course to starboard in a normal meeting situation. • Make sure the choice you pick refers to the relative passing arrangement (which side you leave the other vessel on), not just the direction you are steering.
