Re: Stus-List Think you know boating, navigation and seamanship?
Five long farts means 'You are in immediate danger.' Ducks know this, which is why they normally do three quacks (because they're backing up) but when you hear a duck give you five quacks you need to ... duck. I had a friend do the captain's course, and he was really excited the day he learned what a bollard is. He was talking about bollards for weeks. Every time I see one I think of him.
