Go look up the definition of those three terms and you'll see that a powerboat drifting along does not meet any of the definitions. "not under command" means disabled and unable to manuver. "restricted in its ability to maneuver" doesn't apply to any boat that has power and can in fact maneuver. And "engaged in fishing" refers to boats fishing with mobile gear extending off the rear of the boat, such as nets, dredges, etc. Its specifically doesn't apply to fishing poles. |

It saddens me... you are correct. I'm cuious though how the use of a drift sock would be interpreted as it does indeed restrict the ability to move... |

But the "engaged in fishing" is so often abused by the commercial fleet I almost applaud when they get more regs slapped on them....

If you heard the captain of the boat that struck the sailboat report to the coast guard the initial distress call, you could tell he was #^&#^&#^&#^&ting his pants. Cracking voice. Stuttering. Reluctant, but doing the right thing.
