Lk Erie accident story reminds me of a stupid stunt my HS buddies and I
pulled back in the early 60’s.
We had been staying on one of the little islands that ring the outside
south end of Biscayne Bay (S of Key Biscayne) near Miami, FL. Right about
dusk one evening we decided we needed something from the marina back on
the mainland. Three of us piled into our boat and headed out across the
bay in the gathering dark. There wasn’t much moon that night and it got
pretty dark pretty fast. Cool thing I noticed was that the water was
fluorescing brightly as we cut through it.
Before we were half way across we saw lights of something bigger and
slower heading south down the bay and the boat owner said “Hey look a
shrimp boat heading out.” Somebody else said “Hey, let’s surprise them and
cut across their bow.” And we changed course to do just that. (Sometimes
you wonder how you managed to survive some of the stupid things you did.)
The boat we were in was about an 18’ fiberglass something with a decent
size motor and we were closing pretty fast with the other craft, this was
going to be good. I don’t know if it was our running lights, or the
fluorescing water, but the other boat must have seen us approaching
because suddenly a bright spot light came on and illuminated the big dark
barge in front of us that the tugboat was pushing. Fortunately, we were
still back far enough to change course and give the pair a wide berth. We
didn’t talk much the rest of the trip in.
It still gives me shivers to think what might have been if that tugboat
captain hadn’t been on his toes.
Quite simple... some would have died!- Hide quoted text -

Wow, now you can go back to the other place and tell them how
sarcastic we are here.... Until I found out your moniker over there I
did not realize it was you causing **** at both ends so you could
knock us down. You are indeed, just like Harry..
There's very little discussion of the peripatetic sh*theads these days,
even though some of them, like "Reggie," "Florida Jim," "DK," Herring,
et cetera, do show up from time to time to plop out a snarky turd.
But they're on the DNR list...so...- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, found out I was on that list too.. ****em....
You earned your way on the list there, fella. Remember that first or
second post of yours? But there was interest in your build a boat
thread, since it was interesting, on topic, and without your usual
snarky remarks.- Hide quoted text -

Nonsense. You mocked my post there as well as here. You are the reason
I decided to keep the build here where I can fight back. I am out
again...

I suggest you go back and read for content this time. There was no
insult in that thread aimed at your boatbuilding.

What do you mean, you are "out" again? You posted something else overly
assy and got bounced?
