Personally I always give a passage plan to CG.
Plus points being.
Gives practice in DSC and communication on VHF and let's you know equipment working okay.Let's CG know of your approx position should they need service of someone in the area. Should the worse happen the CG can arrange a better SAR. It's a free service.
Negative points. Can't think of any.

I say again.
A passsage plan left with the CG or responsible person ashore is "not a waste of time," nor should it "give a false sense of security".
As i said originally where a boat is reported overdue or missing then knowing where that boat intended to go is a great help in the following search.
It should be simple to understand. This is not a matter of my or any other persons opinion.
I'm not suggesting any great qualification or experience to state this. It's just common sense.

And what you don't seem to grasp is the fact that it all revolves around someone reporting the boat missing or overdue - which was the original point.. If that doesn't happen, the passage plan remains "on file" and offers no value or security to the missing person. It only becomes of value when it is looked at - the trigger and the action that places value on the passage plan is the shore contact or other person reporting the boat missing and without that trigger it remains a worthless bit of information cluttering up a log...
You really do need to go back and read my early posts and try to understand what I am saying rather than what you seem to think that I have said...

That is a most obvious statement I've seen in a while.

It's taken you a very long time to spot it, is it sinking in now?

Both recent CG members have actually had to agree with my posts - through gritted teeth admittedly...but have then had to go on and introduce their own "interpretations" of what I've said just to argue against them. - there's arrogance for you. If you want to go back and look at my early posts I've said most of what they said before they have... :encouragement:
Lol im agreeing with you. Whats your issue? As you and others have said it all relys on someone reporting an overdue or a concern for a vessel!

Nothing to do with knowledge, experience or even superiority, just a bit of basic comprehension and understanding. It really does help to read all posts through before jumping in with both feet...

Not taking any issue at all, I'm glad someone was able to see the wood for the trees. :encouragement: I couldn't see what they were arguing about either, as I said they were actually agreeing with me.

Maybe, maybe not, but I do know I have to bow to your superiority.
I have to agree, you are right, your knowledge is greater than mine and I can only hope to reach your level of expert knowledge one day.
I don't wish to be verbally abused anymore. I give in, your are the top dog, I apologise.

Such a silly post - but probably says more about you than it does me...
