Nice story. How did you get hold of the cabin cruiser guy?

We wrote down the registration number immediately after the collision. I
faxed a request for info to the National Vessel Documentation Center and
sent copies to the USCG Group that I worked with on VHF that night, and to
the Marina Del Rey sheriff. It was the latter that provided me contact info
for the owner based on the registration number.
