I agree... it kinda diminishes the incident.

Bull****.

Beats calling the Harbor Master and hoping he does not

off as you stomp out of the office.. Gee I wonder if the
Harbor

would rather have a crewboat in his marina paying a

a

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?

She's been shooting at boats since the 1940's. I call it effective
errosion control.

If she killed or injured someone, she would
surely go to jail, even if they did have a bothersome wake.

Ya think so Jonboy? Have you ever been in the Atchafalaya swamp?
Don't you think she has been reported a 100+ times...to the point
where the local yocals say something like " tough ****...better slow
down next time"

You just
advocated it.

To each his own..

And, when the skipper tells you to drop dead, then what?

Follow through with the proper actions.

... as opposed to
the person who actually controls whether or not they can do business
in
the
marina?

As opposed to the person who can arrest them, and take away his
licences.

You assume I would go in Shotguns a blazing Jon. Not so..but I'd
rather adress the issue face to face with the Captain who injured my
crew..vs leaving my duties to others to make sure proper actions are
taken.

Harbor Master...bwahahahahaa does he wear a special uniform ?

Joe

Last I checked, the CG won't do anything unless they witness it; whereas,
the harbor master will. If the skipper is smart, s/he will admit to
nothing.
So, what does that get you?

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Guess if someone get's
squished to death between two boat...unless the CG see it they are not
going to investigate.

And FYI Title 33 CFR part 173 provides guidance in regards to
accident reporting.

As a licenced Captain you should know that if someone is injured and
needs medical assitance you are required by law to report the
incident.

Are you sure you passed an exam to get a licences?

Joe




Ours doesn't need a uniform to be in charge.

And, what I said was that unless you're able to prove it, they're just going
to say they can't do anything. There's a big difference between someone
going over the speed limit and someone being injured or property damaged.
The harbor master can deal with the former easily and quickly. The CG
probably won't do anything. Of course, you can always confront them with
Annie if you think that'll help your cause.
