Thanks Tom for a very helpful post. The "diamonds are your friends…" memory aid is
a good one!

Everyday is a learning experience.
Be safe. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thanks, earlier this year a dredge was blocking the ICW in front of New Smyrna Beach City Marina. They wouldn’t respond to hails on 13 or 16. I finally had to yell at the worker on a tug operating off the dredge in the passage side. I was totally confused and understanding the daytime signals would have helped. I ended up squeezing between the dredge and the tug, but it was intimidating.
