unfortunately, there are idiots like this all around. we get our share,
but we tend to avoid places where they like to show off like that.
passing me that close at that speed may invite a 12 ga slug below the
waterline if a second pass is attempted. endanger my life, my crew, or
my vessel, and you get what you deserve... you've been warned!

I agree, that guy should be banned from boating. I would think anyone
in any of those cruisers would be justified at taking out his boat the
way is driving. What if someone were swimming in the water???

This is probably how he ended up when coming back to his dock.

anyone else notice something funny about this pic? not being a physics
major, i would venture my guess it would be easier to push the boat off
the shoal if the fat guy either stood on the other side, or got OFF the
boat.

DownTime,

If you zoom in you can see the fat guy is standing on the other side, it is
probably the only reason the boat is listing as much as it is.

We had a discussion about this picture, specifically the warning sign,
sometime last year. To me the sign looks more like an advertising sign
(Danger Shoal Grill and Bar 100 yards ahead) than an actual warning sign.
It is also not visible in all directions, as the fat slob in the picture
proves.

I love that photo. Nothing like running into the warning sign!
