There was a wake in the marina and I posted a notice at
the club house offering to pay for any damages. No one made any claims
until 3 weeks later when someone whose boat wasn't in the marina or
even within a quarter mile of the incident claimed my wake broke his
onboard notebook computer. He was obviously taking advantage of my
goodwill so I refused to pay.

No good deed will go unpunished. It sounds like you and "Wilma"
might have met ?


First I'd like to thank all those for their great advice. The good
news is I have a replacement hatch being shipped to me this very
moment. Thanks for the time and thoughtfulness.

Now for the second matter. I was wondering is this "Wilbur" was just
lucky guessing about me and my boat. Seemed way too much to be just
coincidence. Then someone pointed his real identity. I deeply reget
to say that yes I have had a few run ins in person with the guy. I
live on Matecumbe Key (Upper) and everyone's friend is moored just a
few hundred yards to the west. I can see his yellow **** stain of a
boat from my 2nd floor. He was the guy who claimed I broke his
notebook computer. Turn about is fair play so here's the dirt on the
guy.

He's been living here ever since I was here which is 15 years. He's
infamous for his letters to the editor of the local papers and has an
opinion on everything. You can usually find him drunk down at the
Lorilie Bar, just look for the heavily rusted Toyota pickup parked
outside. When he's on his boat he parks the rust heap over on Mastic
St where the rust stains are embedded into the pavement. He's not a
full time liveaboard he rents a room in a house over on Catherine St,
I don't recall the address but can easily go look. I've seen him
around town with an attractive but very dumb Cuban woman. They both
tried living aboard **** boat and the fighting could be heard over one
mile away across the water, especially at night. He's usually in some
type of minor legal trouble such as peeing over the side of his boat
in view of people, perpetual parking violations and loitering. The
Asian food place is the only place that tolerated him. I could go on
and on about him and probably write a book. The police found a big
stash of stolen property in the mangroves and never found out who
stole it. The telltale sign was a well beaten path leading straight to
the shoreline closest to his boat. I hope all this information ****es
the Sot off royally, he deserves. If he doesn't shut up I have much
more to tell like the time the Greek sponge guy beat him senseless.
Keep up the good work "Wilbur" so I can conjur up some embarrassing
photos of you.

That aside, thanks again everyone for the help and suggestions.
Hopefully someday I can return the favor.

Glad you found a hatch Ron!
Thanks for the enlightenment on "Sir Yanksalot". He's got many, many
disgruntled and disfunctional personalities living in that flea infested
head.
