Nav light question

[Tammany]

Has anyone a simular clarification for Canal Cruiser regulations? We eent on a canal trip from Camden Market, the Captain appraoching a tunnel blew his horn 3 times, then exsplained that was to signal he was going to reverse to the oncomming boat - but doubted the other captain would know these signals.

berating while to take a test for his licence any can jump into a barge and drive it.

Well i don't know any of these signals, so anyone have a copy of what they mean?

Keep it adult please guys .

Might be not many seem to travel after dark, but most have the side and rear mounted nav lights, some are on a mast that is left folded for bridges etc.

The guide on that noat did a h&s safety talk, he eas very droll, he said there are two emergency exits
1) all the way down the left side.
2) all the way down the right side

He taked about an accident on the Prince Regents Canal where a cargo of i think coal was being transported, also 4 ton of blasting powder.

it blew up under an awuaduct bridge completely destroying it. The route was so vital it was repaired within 7 days at a cost of £77.000 - a heck of a lot of money back then.

Today, you could not write up the method of work and h&s statements in that time.

Moby, your bio shows that you were a commercial fisherman for 20 years. I'm surprised at your lack of knowledge of nav lights

I'm not
