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.

We have no such thing as a Harbor Master.

I do not need a parking lot cop type Harbor master to snitch to.
I'd find the boat and deal with the skipper directly if he injured a
crewmember.
And deal directly with the USCG to get his ticket pulled.

These kind of people need to meet shotgun Annie on the Atachaflya
river. It would be the last time they felt like wipping a wake on
someone.

Joe

What is your problem? Every marina out here has a harbor master. They
handle
the issues of the marina, rent slips, run the fuel docks, etc. The CG
would
certainly be the appropriate authority to investigate injury or damage
due
to wakes. The master would likely ignore you. Of course, your solution is
to
threaten, but that's not a shocker.

I got no problem.

Threaten who? Wtf are you talking about?

Just what makes a harbor master a "Master" of anything?
Cuz the land lord says so?

Joe

The master I was talking about was the skipper of the vessel. You said you
were going to introduce the skipper to "shotgun Annie."

No bone head, I said these type of people need to meet Shotgun Annie.
She an old lady that lives on the banks of the Atchayflaya
river..Anyone whips a wake on her property she has no problem blasting
at them with a shotgun. Everyone who has worked the river knows her
and respects her. I've seen several boats with cracked windows, and
have been on supply boats that have been peppered by her. People are
lucky she uses shot and not slugs.
