I believe that's all he legally needs to do from the ATC Handbook (7-1-2-b):
"When, in your judgment, there is reason to believe that flight in VFR conditions may become impractical, issue an alternative clearance which will ensure separation from all other aircraft for which you have separation responsibility." If ATC vectors you and you lose your required visual cues for VFR flight, then it's up to you to say "unable." Remember, being a pilot is not a requirement for controllers. However, a good controller would know not to vectore you over water if you're VFR. Marco "pr" wrote in message ...

Yes, I think he was, but it did prompt me to ponder the question.
