I posted this way back in this thread but the Coast Guard does have not only an opinion but a rule:

RULE 6
SAFE SPEED
Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions.

I tend to value their opinion and experience.

As do I, unfortunately NH has never adopted Rule 6.

Not at all, SA...I've always enjoyed your posts. That was kind of tongue in cheek, referring to the fact that none of us were privy to the information that the jury got in order to render a decision.

True, it just points out what the prudent, experienced would/should do.
