Comment Re:46USC2304 - Duty to provide assistance at sea (Score 1) 123

The yacht's owner cannot relieve the master's responsibility to assist a vessel in distress. If the yacht owner is ashore and a hired captain/master is commanding the yacht, the statutory obligation belongs to the master/person actually in charge. An owner calling the captain and saying, for example, "Don't divert; I'm not paying for the fuel/time" would not erase the master's statutory duty. The master has to make the decision based on the circumstances at sea, including whether rendering assistance would seriously endanger his own vessel or those aboard. (46 U.S.C. 2304)

Whether thats done by eye or by machine doesn't make a huge amount of difference so long as in the latter case the data isn't stored if the plate isn't flagged in some way

Of course the entire point is that it is being stored. All of it., "flagged" or not. Imagine being an apologist for this shit.

How long before folks rolling their own are looked at sideways by LE?

We're nearly there. I imagine the suspicion I would be under explaining to some goon that, no, I do not have any social media history to share because I do not have any social media accounts. To answer your question: we're this close.
