One long blast can mean one of many things:
1) I am turning to starboard
2) In a situation of restricted view (ie turning a blind corner on a river) it's a warning signal to warn other vessels of your presence
3) In fog it is a general fog signal for vessels over usually over 12meters underway (this is repeated every 2 minutes)
