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

Who knows, maybe there was a medical emergency or

Yup.. you got it right.

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.
Joe
So, what you're saying is that someone else is going to threaten them
with a
gun. Wow, I was so wrong!

No dunder head.... Annie did not threaten anyone with anything, she
acted to protect what was hers.
I'd never threaten anyone with a gun...that's just plain stupid.
However I would find the boat and deal with the issue in person. Why
you would feel the need to involve a glorified landlords yes boy , is
beyond me.
Joe
Threatening someone with a gun isn't the answer. If she's been shooting at
people, what do you call it? If she killed or injured someone, she would
surely go to jail, even if they did have a bothersome wake. You just
advocated it.
And, when the skipper tells you to drop dead, then what? ... as opposed to
the person who actually controls whether or not they can do business in the
marina?
