Next message: Jim Thompson: "0000 not 2400?"
It would be useful to systematically analyze recreational boat grounding
incidents. I don't know if anyone collects such data with a view to
prevention by better navigation. It would be one way of finding out whether
boaters in our type of setting (coastal piloting) would benefit from more
rigorous piloting practices and skill. I have no idea how that would be
done, though. Is there be any navigation literature where such studies are
published?
