Is anyone comlying with this? Its insane. You can't chase fish to the Canyon at 10 Knots. It will take forever just to get there. http://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/pr/pdfs/shipstrike/compliance_guide.pdf http://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/pr/pdfs/shipstrike/map_sma.pdf

Let it go, you're obviously a new subscriber... Ya can't run over whales anyway, they mangle wheels and bend shafts. But this has been common knowledge for thirty years.

shocking
I'm talking about you being a new subscriber to whatever service it is that you got that from. It's not new. And if you don't own a vessel over 65' you should let it go. And if you don't want to let it go, you shouldn't be naming vessels in a public forum after you complain about a regulation.
Those ferries don't cross the Colregs. Otherwise, remember that you are on a public forum. The only thing your rant can do is cause problems for the cause you are advocating for.
