The only thought I have is generally lawyers prefer their clients not to discuss a pending case. Since you had an injury have you talked to your insurance company? Perhaps a letter to Boat US would be in order as well. Thanks Haggie, A bruise is all but it could have been a lot worse. I will see them on the water again and would be happy just to see a change in their MO. That's for sure. Nothing like frying bacon and having some jerk pound your boat all over the place. Seahag We were tied to the cement retaining wall at harbor SPrings one summer day when a drunken jerk ran his runabout into us *O'Day 22)..I was making dinner and pitched forward into the bulkhead an got a concussion....sure are a lot of idiots out there... |

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 -- "j" ganz -Hide quoted text - If the skipper is smart, s/he will admit to nothing. That's the second dumbest thing you said BTW. If s/he did that then he or she is an idiot and a liar. Most good skippers admit to the mistakes they make and learn from them. Is a liar & coward the type of Captain you would want running your boat? Or would you rather have one that will stand up like a man and take responsibility for his actions? So, what does that get you? I think the title of the OP by Scout might give you a clue. Ours doesn't need a uniform to be in charge. No doubt.. Joe You're starting to rant Joe. You're saying that someone who supposedly broke the law, especially a captain with a license, and knew it, would then admit it? No doubt that they're already doing something illegal, but I suppose someone with truly limited intelligence is going to admit that to a complete stranger. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
