Ok lets review..I know this is hard but focus Jon.

"Sunday, August 12, when the Miss Beach Haven, with
complete disregard for the safety of others, steamed through the
very
narrow channel near Goosebar Sedge, throwing so much water so
closely
to us that you caused an injury to my crew when she fell in the
galley. "

My mistake. In that case, the CG should be notified.

Should be, but not required, because the injury did not need more
than
basic first aid. had it required further medical attention then it
would be required by law.

Wow... I guess that's why I said should.

DUTY:
Perhaps he did not realize what he is doing is illegal, infact
unless
he is in a no wake zone then he is doing nothing illegal, until he
hurts someone or damages someone property. He may be a cluess newbe
Capt who has no ideal what it's like to be hit with a 20 kt 5 ft
wake
in a small saiboat. Someone needs to address the issue with him, and
that is Scout duty as the Captain of the affected craft.

A clueless newbe who's a licensed captain? Sure. Whatever you say.

Sure..How many deckhands do you know running a boat? So if a fellow
get a licences then he is allowed to run a boat..he will be a
newbee...like you.

Like me... someone who knows the rules and uses them every day. It's not
good enough to be unfamiliar with the rules.

Where in the rules does it say you can not throw a wake on anyone?

So, you think it's ok then?

Your licences is a licence to learn..not proof you know everything.

Huh? Did you forget about the exams *and* the sea time requirements?

Again, your licences is a licences to learn.

What? No way. You get a license, you're legally responsible. End of story.
If you learn more, that's great, but it has nothing to do with your current
license.

Jon, I trained many many new skippers on 100 ton boats..In the oil
field you would work under another master until he OK'ed it with the
company to turn you loose with a 10 millin dollar + boat. With what
you said above it would be a long long time and several humbeling
events before I would turn you loose with a boat and crew.

Different situation. No one would just hand over a 100 ton boat to a novice,
but the *license* has nothing to say about that. You're qualified, as far as
the CG is concerned.

You remind me of one fellow I called Capt Crunch. We were running in
to SW pass of the Missippi and he grounded my boat on a sand bar..120
footer. Threw me out of the bunk. He came in at a right angle of the
pass ...way of course. I got up, took me about an hour to dig the boat
off the bar and get it back on course...then the ****ball has the
guall to complain that he should have been allowed to dig the boat off
after the MF was standing there shivering not knowing what to do. I
never allowed him to take the wheel except in open water again.. Thank
God... He quit.

Sounds like you made the mistake of handing him the keys. How this reminds
you of me, I have no idea unless he was very, very good looking.

Like you he thought because he had a licences that he knew everything
needed to run a boat.

Never said that. Now you're just making things up.


This guy obviously isn't someone who knows or cares about the rules. Why
do
you think he would care about lying????

Again show me where in the rules it says you can not produce a wake.

Again, if you don't know, I think you need to go back to school. Is your
license still valid?

Well, there are lots of idiots out there. I try to filter them out. I
suggest you do the same. You might feel better.

Einsteins math teachers thought he was an idiot too...After I listen
to someone then I filter them out if they have nothing to offer. You
should try it, you might be better off for it.

Actually, that's not accurate about Einstein, but whatever.

How long do you have to listen? Perhaps you should take a remedial course in
listening skills.

When I got my first ticket I thought just like you... until someone
clearly showed me the error of my ways.. He was a true Master Mariner,
worked his way up from a deckhand to become the president of the
largest offshore supply vessel company in the USA, with over 120- 220+
ft boats under his command in less than 5 years.

Joe

I sincerely doubt you "thought just like" me. Learning about a boat has
nothing to do with knowing the rules. Two completely different things,
except in your mind of course, but don't worry, you'll have to listen for a
bit longer I suspect, before you understand. :-)
