To the 8/12/07 Captain of the Miss Beach Haven:

I've sailed and motored the waters between Sandy Hook and
Cape May for
5 decades and I've rarely seen such an inconsiderate act
as I saw on
the morning of 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.

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.

Captain, Sailor, and not one who soon forgets those who
would hurt or
jeopardize the safety of others.
