Three short blasts means you are operating in reverse. One prolonged blast followed by 3 short blasts means boat under tow in redcued visibility conditions.
The danger signal
Foggy conditions....a case of restricted visibility... according to International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea Rule 35... "A Power driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast." So hearing a prolonged blast every 2 mins in restricted visibility we can deduce that its a power driven vessel making way through water.
It means a vessel is going to back up.
it means to blow a horn ok bye thanks for reading
One short blast of a horn mean while boating may mean a couple of things depending on where you are. Some of the meanings of the short blast include request for drawbridge to open, intention to pass of the left side and intention to change course to starboard among others.
