\u201cHess still has some conditions to fulfil: his water taxis can operate only if the weather is good and there are two fire extinguishers on board. Fine, he thinks that\u2019s reasonable. There are some other requirements, though, that make no sense to him: both anchors for the taxi must weigh between twenty and twenty-five kilograms (between forty-four and fifty-five pounds) and each must be connected to a chain that is thirty meters (ninety-eight feet) long. A small water taxi would sink under the weight of such equipment. In addition, no government office has yet been able to explain to Hess exactly what a \u2018modified C-2 captain\u2019s certificate\u2019 is, something the authorities are also requiring him to have, as the operator of a water taxi. There is a decree that covers this certificate, says the government, but Hess has not yet been allowed to see it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: A. Randerath and H.

Das lie\u00dfe sich noch machen, doch weitere Auflagen ergeben f\u00fcr ihn keinen Sinn: Die beiden Anker m\u00fcssten mindestens 20 beziehungsweise 25 Kilo schwer sein und an einer 30 Meter langen Kette befestigt sein. Das ist viel zu schwer, damit w\u00fcrde das “Spree-Cab” schlicht untergehen. Bislang konnte ihm auch noch kein Amt erkl\u00e4ren, worum genau es sich bei dem “modifizierten C2-Patent” handelt, das die Beh\u00f6rde von ihm als m\u00f6glichen Schiffsf\u00fchrer fordert.
