Spotted: Pipe in Boating Test Quiz

mikethompson · Mar 8, 2019

So I took the online quiz before taking the test for a boating/pleasure craft license (mandatory in Canada), and to my delight and surprise there was some pipe content.
I can't quite make out the nomenclature though...

Hahaha

That’s alright

Only in Canada...lol

Shh! Don't tell!
Ah, sux, too late! It's gonna be airbrushed in the next iteration.

Hahaha.

Where is the choice, "Not having enough pipes on board", since there is at least one other adult in the pic? Can't shove-off & get underway without sufficient pipes!

Well, it's a nice sign.

Looks like a Bing model if my eyes are working tonight.

I don't see a windcap, he's definitely not concerned with burn out

Whoa! Check out the freeboard on the rightmost panel! Stern must be awash!
And what a tough choice- which is bad boating: Not enough whistles, not enough cold drinks, or not enough life vests? Hmmmmmm.

If the wind is over, say about 15 knots, a windcap doesn't do diddly to protect against burnout. It helps a bit with keeping the larger pieces of burning bits in the chamber, though.

They figure if we can afford a boat we can afford Canadian tobacco taxes.

That kid in the red shirt doesn't look to happy either. I didn't even notice the lack of windcap, good eyes gentlemen.

In German the word for "whistle" is the same as for "pipe". Pfeife. I see the first panel indicates not enough whistles on board. Perhaps this was originally a German language test and a mistake was made in translation. What it means to say is "not enough pipes on board". There is merely one pipe and 5 people. There needs to be more pipes aboard that watercraft!

jpmcwjr · Mar 9, 2019

I think that explains it!

At least they require a beer cooler onboard in Canada.

Those pics were just prior to the accident where all that fine tobacco was lost at sea.
