Special Episode with Captain Mike Answering Your Email Questions
|
|
|
How can I separate the oil from the water in the bilge of my boat. I do not want the bilge pump to come on pumping out the oil? Paul Thom, Honolulu Hawaii
Capt. Mike's Answer: Great
Question and I have a special guest
Remember, any discharge of oil, gas or petroleum is illegal and can result in big fines plus clean up costs.
If I document my boat with the US Coast Guard, can they seize my vessel to use during a war? Tom Watson, New York City, NY
Capt. Mike's Answer: To answer the myth of only documented vessels being confiscated by the government during wartime, well, the government can take possession of any vessel whether documented or state registered.
To document you vessel you must be a US citizen who owns the vessel and the vessel be over 5 net tons about 25 feet or larger. Documentation is important if you plan any out of country voyages to show nationality, and commercial, passenger, and ships must be documented.
The US Coast Guard has more information on their website www.uscg.mil. |
We love to cook the fresh fish we catch and do you have any special recipes or methods for cooking (the) fish? Bailey Sumers, Newport Beach, CA
Capt. Mike's Answer:
Let's
go visit nationally renowned Chef Clayton Recipes for Boater - CLICK HERE BBQ Salmon, Country Potato Salad, Vegetable Slaw, & Sweet Vinaigrette
I
have a 44' Sportfisher and how do I use the boat's radio to make passing
arrangements with the big ships in the area? Capt. Mike's Answer: Well Tom I have good news and bad news concerning your size of boat and the "big" ships. You did not mention if underway in a harbor or in the ocean? First the bad news - you do not make passing arrangements with big ships, per se, but just stay out of their way. Ships can not maneuver as easily as your size of vessel and most of the time near a port or in a port they are in traffic lanes so be sure to check your charts. Also, Rule 9 comes into play that basically states any vessel restricted by size in a harbor has the right of way over other vessels and this includes over power, sail, people powered, etc.
Now the good news - you can contact the ships to ask for their intentions such as turning or change in speed. Ships monitor channel 16 that all vessels should monitor, and their bridge to bridge is channel 13. Plus, ships might be on another channel with Vessel Traffic Information Services (VTIS channels 12, 14, or check for your area) and you can hear their route plans with the VTIS.
Boater's should have a copy of the book Using Your VHF Radio onboard by the radio. |
