I'd like to thank you for posting the note - my brother lives just off
Lake Erie on the other side of Cleveland and we've taken our boat up
there for several lake runs - always a good time. *It just surprises
me that people go out running that late at night (approx 12:30 am),
presumably above 20mph, with MINIMAL lighting on the boat. *I'm sorry
that this resulted in a loss of life, but I can't imagine running
around in those conditions - even if there was a (near) full moon on
Monday.

Here's something funny. I see over at Chuck's that JimH is chastising
someone because he has interests "other than boating". He then comes
here and whines like a little baby because every single post isn't
about boating........

A good place to discuss boats.

For someone with as much disdain for Chuck's Place as you have
demonstrated here, you sure spend a lot of time reading the posts there
and commenting on them here, even the ones you don't understand, which,
apparently, is most of them.

Interesting you don't post there. No balls for *that* either, I suppose.

If Loogy & Gang couldn't whine and post off-topic, why, they'd have no
reason to post here or anywhere else.

I was talking with one of the owners of our marina yesterday and this
accident came up. I then brought up another fatal accident several
years back also involving a cigarette boat hitting another boat at a
high rate of speed.

He told me that the man who was killed was a docker at his marina. He
had just graduated from college with high honors and his parent
purchased him the 29 foot boat as a graduation gift. They went out on
the boat for the first time when a man from Leamington, Canada plowed
his 38 foot boat at 50 mph into the young mans boat.

The accident occurred in broad daylight.

At least the drunk operator received some jail time. If the event had
occured up here, he may have gotten house arrest.

He was able to transfer his assets in a timely manner and his boat
conveniently was torched while it was still insured. Nice guy.
