The doc ordered a CT scan as a precaution, and it thankfully came
back negative.

I met them at the hospital, and my son's first words were "when I get
better, can we go back out fishing again?" His second question was "I
didn't dent your boat, did I?"


Glad he (and the boat) is OK. I still think if we shoot a few of the
rude Bast---ds the word would get around pretty quick. We often fish a
cut and it's amazing how many boats seem to want to see how close they
can get to you when they run through. Another annoyance is how many
people never consider their wake - most boats at full plane don't kick
up much of a wake but a lot of skippers seem to think that if they
slow down when they pass they are doing you a favor when actually
their plane/wallow is kicking up a much larger wake.
