🔍 Key Concepts

• Inland Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals (especially the paragraph about vessels at bends or obstructed channels) • Difference between a bend (warning) signal and overtaking/meeting/crossing passing signals • When Inland Rules require signals only for power‑driven vessels in sight of one another and within 1/2 mile

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: What is the purpose of the prolonged blast at a sharp bend – is it a passing agreement or simply a warning of presence? • After both vessels have exchanged the bend signal, what additional condition(s) must exist before normal passing signals (one, two, or three short blasts) are required under Inland Rules? • Consider whether the rules require any vessel to stop engines simply because a bend signal has been exchanged, or whether the rule instead talks about speed and caution.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the exact wording in Inland Rule 34(g) about what a vessel SHALL do when approaching a bend and when another vessel answers. • Verify in Inland Rule 34(a)-(c) that passing (maneuvering) signals apply only to power‑driven vessels in sight of one another and meeting or crossing within 1/2 mile. • Confirm whether the rule ever states that the downriver vessel must stop engines, or if that language appears anywhere in the Navigation Rules.
