The correct answers are:
1. A Vessel restricted in her maneuverability while working will sound One prolong and two short while working at anchor or underway.
2. A Fishing vessel while fishing at anchor will sound one prolong and two short.
Both will have an interval not more than two minutes apart when sounding the fog signal.

A pilot vessel at anchor will sound the bell for 5 seconds that can be followed by four short. At an interval of not more than one minute.

HERE is an easy one: Which vessel will sound a fog signal of one prolong and three short at interval of not more than two minutes?

A vessel being towed, or if more than one vessel is towed, the last vessel in the tow.

What is Rule 10?

The qualifier for the above is "while Manned." An unmanned tow sounds nothing.

Rule 10 Concerns "Traffic Separation Schemes" The vessel obligations of transiting them, crossing them, entering them, fishing in the separation zone and You Do NOT Anchor At or Near the Termination of a TSS. (It is like parking in the middle of an off ramp of a Highway or an intersection of crossroads.)

Would you follow Rule 5 faithfully, While single handing for long distances?

Not a chance. Hence your other puzzle thread about "not under command".

What has NELS to do with navigation?

[Boasun]

Idiens didn't give a question...So Your vessel is in shallow water and the bow rides up on its bow wave while the stern sinks into a depression of its transverse wave system. What is this called:
A. Broaching
B. Fish tailing
C. Squatting
D. Parallel sinkage

Do ye dare answer?

[Idiens]

Squatting.

And the answer to my question on NELS -

Northwest European LORAN chainS. - It takes Euro-pions to fit that abbreviation.

Idiens!? Triva question? Please!!

Heck! I always thought (always in trouble when I think) that LORAN was a US thing.

Isn't LORAN trivia? The US Navy sold their LORAN chain to the EU, some of whom have been trying to find a use for it ever since.
