How true.  I think this horse has been beaten enough.  If you don't
understand the signals then go to a boating class and learn.  There are
plenty classes out there and loads of books written on the subject.
Please be an  educated boater.  Your life may depend on it.

What is everyone talking about "whistles"? If any TB skipper ever used that
term, you simply ask him "You want us on your port or your starboard,
skipper?" and then he tells you!

You're talking to him on a VHF, for cryinoutloud, not sounding your horn!
You get to ask again! They don't mind!

These guys don't screw around with Mark Twain terminology!
