With a decent Westerly breeze, we were making good way South on a beam reach, and were flowing with traffic, not tacking across the channel (i.e., I was not in your way). When I saw you bearing down on us at such a high speed, I was forced to fire up my engine, get out of the channel, and circle around to meet your enormous wake, which had I allowed it to broadside us, could have easily caused a more severe injury to my crew. I will not forget your ignorance or your lack of empathy for the small boater in a narrow channel. The captain of a ship your size is morally obligated to consider the safety of those around you, but you did not in any way show consideration for the safety of my family and crew. I must now take action, and will make it a point to watch and video tape you. I will also report this and any further safety incidents to the U.S. Coastguard. You leave a trail of enemies and damage in the wake of your carelessness, and I will spread the word of your incompetence far and wide around LBI and Southern New Jersey. Whoever captained Miss Beach Haven that day is a disgrace to his title and his license.http://www.missbeachhaven.com/ B.J. Law Captain, Sailor, and not one who soon forgets those who would hurt or jeopardize the safety of others. I wrote him a note saying he should not be in business. Thanks Bart, I appreciate your support! Scout, So you were the one that started this thread? Now I know it is not BS. Do you keep your boat near there? I'll be driving down there in a few weeks. Perhaps we can meet for lunch. |

"Scout" wrote in message . .. Ah, such freshness. Such originality! haha, like this? "you're an ass" brilliant! But the difference is that in reprising the "no offense" from your patently offensive post, I added a twist of sarcasm missing from the original. Perhaps I shouldn't have expected you to pick up on that. Difference between thrusting a rapier and firing a blunderbuss. |
