| I thought the stand on vessel is the one that holds course and speed. in this picture I is the stand on vessel correct? so wouldnt the giveway vessel II make the signal and if agreed upon by I make the appropriate course change? |

| Withrow, I like the way you are thinking, but it has no impact on a correct answer. The problem "B" is one must sound the 5 short and rapid blast first, then the stand-on vessel may take action. The requirement to make passing arrangements is on BOTH vessels in this situation. |

| No, the problem is that it is either a PDV or a vessel engaged in fishing IAW Rule 3 which then brings in Rule 18. No such thing as "a power driven vessel engaged in fishing." |

| Because it is INLAND these are signals of intent and require a response. If it is a signal of action then the vessel making the signal would act immediately after making the signal. Because it is a signal of intent, the vessel making the signal must wait for the response. Of course this does not exonerate either vessel from making maneuvers to avoid danger. |

| The wording of this question is too ambiguous based on the resultant answer. While it does not state the direction the CPA will occur, because Vessel II is the stand-on, it is misleading. Albeit the only indicator of the proper answer is that it is "Inland Only" though answer A or B are still viable answers. |
