| Don’t read into the questions just answer them I think it’s a good question remember what a stand on vessel is and a giveway vessel the giveaway is in charge of the situation unless stand by doesn’t repeat the whistle. So if there this was a sailboat ⛵️in the displacement mode same amswer |

| These questions are not provided by the Coast Guard. If they were, it would not say "crossing situation", which can only happen between PDVs. |

| Yes but it does say “a vessel fishing” meaning it’s engaged in its operations that’s what makes it a under the rules. Anytime the rules mentions fishing and vessel grouped together they are referring to it being “engage” in fish trawls, nets, or seiners. If it wasn’t engaged in fishing it wouldn’t say fishing it would say “a power driven vessel” . |

| It seems to me that with these questions, when they say "a vessel fishing", they always mean a "fishing vessel" as opposed to a powerboat trolling. |

| ok,it says the vessel is (fishing) not trawls-nets-lines or other fishing apparatus. it could be a sport fisher trolling or jigging therefore it would just be a power boat. I would have gotten the answer correct if the wording was more correct. |

| if you are not "fishing" then you are just a power driven vessel and must comply with such rules |

| I never liked how the Coast Guard makes their questions so ambiguous and then they'll throw in distractions. But after reading the question twice, it kind of does say the vessel is engaged in fishing. The beginning sentence says "a vessel fishing", which would also mean a vessel engaged in fishing. |

| It doesn't say specifically the fishing vessel is 'engaged' in fishing, |
