INLAND ONLY In a narrow channel, you are underway on power-driven vessel "A" and desire to overtake power-driven vessel "B". After you sound two short blasts on your whistle, vessel "B" sounds five short and rapid blasts on the whistle. What action should you take?

Correct Answer: Option D — Hold your relative position, and then sound another signal after the situation has stabilized

33 CFR 83.34(d) (Inland Rule 34) states that if a vessel is in doubt as to whether the other vessel is taking sufficient action to avoid collision, she shall immediately indicate such doubt by sounding at least five short and rapid blasts. You must not proceed until agreement is reached.
