That's open to interpretation. The exceptional circumstance is that I'm anchored to the bottom and therefore unable to maneuver

Open to interpretation? But the rules are clear?

Can't have it both ways.

(Devil's advocate is fun, people talking about pulling guns is gay.)

n/m, B got it already.

And an example of "exceptional circumstance" is equipment failure, not being anchored.

If you are actually not under command, you need to make it known.

No, it's not.

Unless you are displaying NUC symbols/lights you are NOT NUC! Typically, this means you were declaring on the radio you were NUC as well... As ted said, if you lost power, tossed the hook and radioed you were NUC, you might have a leg to stand on.

Anchored and fishing w/lines is not NUC or even RAM. it is an ANCHORED Powerboat.....

Not trying to piss on your stance, but don't try and wrongly interpret the rules for your sake....

Lets not forget COLREGS is not "open to interpretation"
They're very black and white.
