| My recent experience with Jrop tow truck nearby was excellent. The assistance I received was prompt and expert. The driver was helpful and pleasant. My automobile was safely loaded onto the tow truck, and he did so in a jiffy. At the other end, he unloaded it and fastened it down with precision. I had a lot of questions about my automobile, and he patiently answered each one. |

| Think Rawdataman is right. Take a look at Rule 35 (c): A vessel not under command, a vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre, a vessel constrained by her draught, a sailing vessel, a vessel engaged in fishing and a vessel engaged in towing or pushing another vessel shall, instead of the signals prescribed in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Rule, sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes three blasts in succession, namely one prolonged followed by two short blasts. MY VESSEL COULD BE A NUC VESSEL. But, if not said anything on the contrary, we must assume it is a normal vessel. Think that is the lesson |

| Initially, I agreed with RAWDATMAN but after review of rule 35, it only specifies that a POWER DRIVEN vessel is to sound 2 prolonged underway making no way. It does not specify that any other type of vessel must sound any variation of sound signal underway making no way. Hope this helps. |

| RAWDATAMAN is absolutely correct. |

| This question is not clear enough - it does not specify if 'your vessel' is a sailboat, powerboat, whatever. I assume it is referring/expecting 'your vessel' to be a power boat..... Note to CG. The 'correct' answer would not be correct if 'your vessel' was a sailboat,towboat, pilot boat, etc... |
