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.

You said smart Captain's will lie.
I said they will not


This is your opinion vs. my opinion. Nothing you've said has convinced me
that you're right.


Well I guess all the licenced Capt'n you run with are liars and
cowards, without any honor..That must suck. Oh well I guess you will
fit in nicely.


He's not much of a captain if he's doing something illegal, so what brings
you to the conclusion he's going to be honest about this?



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.

HONOR:
Yes I feel that most licenced USMM master have hornor and will not
lie to cover up a mistake. Most will stand up and admit to a mistake.
They will not lie.

Safety:
Scout letter reached the owners, the owners will address the issue
with the operator, yet I doubt they will respond directly (Advice from
the Dave's in the World)

Either way the operator will not IMO do it again.


Still with the personal insults.... I know you're an angry guy. Were you
molested?

There was this 29yo airforce Cap's wife, ...but I was 13..does that
count?
Thanks for the memory jolt.


You said inform the Harbor Master.
I said you should consult your CFR, and notify the proper officals.


I said that the HB would be able to deal with this quickly and
efficiently.


VS doing it yourself... to the proper authorties as defined in the CFR


Yes vs. doing it yourself, which is not productive unless of course you
think threatening him is the right thing to do.

Why are you always saying threatening? I rather follow thru then
threaten to follow thru


You said the CG will ignore a wake induced injury unless they
witnessed it.


No I didn't.


"they're just going
to say they can't do anything."


I say they will investagate.


Your opinion.


It's not an opinion. If the USCG fails to investigate then they can be
brought up on charges of derilection of duty.


If there were no injuries, it's a he-said/she-said situation. Their
"investigation" will be to tell you to give them some evidence.


We were not talking about no injuries...**** if there are no injuries
then it's a chance to surf the boat.

You said Scout lost creadibility by informing others on a sailng NG.
I say he did not.


I changed my mind, given who it was, which was unclear originally.


Ohh so if it's a buddie he's right..if not.. he loses all
credibility.. I see where you are coming from.


No. If he has credibility, then I tend to listen. You listen to crackpots?
Oh, that must be it.


I listen to everyone.

Who's right?


Not you in my opinion, especially after the personal attack.


Oh my..Do you base all marine law and federal regulations on people
pointing out your personal and proffesional flaws?


I base my impressions about someone's knowledge based in some measure upon
how they're able to communicate. You need work.


Indeed, I practice here.

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.

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.

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

Einsteins math teachers thought he was an idiot too...After I listen

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+

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.

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

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

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,

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. :-)

Sure it's OK to throw a wake..but you need to know when it's OK. Some
newbees do not understand when it's OK and when it not OK.

Many new Skippers do not have a clue. They are the ones running junk
like the boat Scout reported.

Lets take you for instance..You have a 50GT with a towing
endorsement. Just how many 50 ton tugboats or crewboats have you
handled? If you landed a job would you know everything needed to be
the Captain of the boat? Would you be a newbee?

If you learn more, that's great, but it has nothing to do with your current
license.


yeah right it has nothing to do with the licences, it has to do with
being a Captain of a boat.

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.


Indeed.. It's a license to learn. You are still a newbee if you take
on a vessel than uses the total tonnage available. Now if your going
to get a license to just hang on the wall and keep sailing little
boats that you have been on all your life, and never advance..... then
by all means your are qualified and not a newbee.


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.


He thought he had all the skills needed. He was new as second Capt.
The reason 100 ton crewboats have two licenced skippers is they are
underway more than 12 hours per day. I had a long trip out, and very
long cold wet offload, the boat has outside stern controls. I told him
to wake me at the sea bouy. he was heading straight for it, and the
sand bars that run for several miles before the rock line jettie.

He got off course by about 6 miles, then when he saw the seabouy he
headed straight for it like a blind fool.


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.


Let's review Jon...focus now.

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