🔍 Key Concepts

• Rule 18 – Responsibilities Between Vessels (Navigation Rules): Power-driven vessels must keep out of the way of vessels engaged in fishing. • Inland Rule 34 – Maneuvering and Warning Signals: When power-driven vessels are meeting or crossing within 1/2 mile, the Inland Rules require whistle signals of intention. • Diagram geometry: From vessel "I" (you), note where vessel "II" (fishing) is located relative to your bow and consider whether you are the stand-on vessel or the give-way vessel.

💭 Think About

• From the relative positions and headings in the diagram, which vessel is required to keep out of the way under Rule 18? • If two power-driven vessels (one engaged in fishing) will pass within 1/2 mile, what does Inland Rule 34(a) say you must do regarding sound signals? • Look at each choice: which options describe the behavior of a stand-on vessel, and which describe a give-way vessel that is clearly stating its intended maneuver?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which vessel has right of way: a normal power-driven vessel or one engaged in fishing. • Verify that within 1/2 mile under the Inland Rules, maneuvering signals (one or two short blasts) indicate your intended course alteration, not just a warning. • Eliminate any option that has you behaving as the stand-on vessel or using the danger signal without genuine doubt as to the other vessel’s intentions.
