Isn't everyone legally liable for their wake? I thought that you

Who knows, maybe there was a medical emergency or something.


Yup.. you got it right.


While I feel for the guy, seems like he should have reported it to the
proper authorities instead of bad-mouthing the boat all over the
internet.

I agree... it kinda diminishes the incident.


Bull****.

Beats calling the Harbor Master and hoping he does not laugh his ass
off as you stomp out of the office.. Gee I wonder if the Harbor master
would rather have a crewboat in his marina paying a couple of grand a
mo. or some boo hooin putz on a small sailboat.

Don't know what it's like in Texas, but here the hbs are very protective of
their marina and the people, commercial or pleasure-boaters. Most of the
people know the hb and given the prices of the slips, they would prefer to
have the sailboats than the fishing boats. If the hb did nothing, they could
be liable. Can't help it if your complaints are laughed at, however.
