Yep tonnage rules I agree Jim, and again I was watching him from the whole time he entered WH channel.....tonnage doesn't absolve him however when he's giving maritime signals of one short blast of a horn.....I'm no dummy when it comes to boating, I know exactly where I am and where I am going every second....I've fished WH alot in the last 3 years on the boat so I know where to be and where not to be.....I guess my reasoning for posting this was that, #1 the guy isn't SUPPOSED to be using the WH route.....SUPPOSED to be using Quicks which is closer and faster anyways from NB, and #2 his speed on this particular day looked to be significantly above the 30mph area to me...and with the 20 or so boats around in the area I thought it was unreasonable and improper....even to the point that he blew the horn.
#3 SOMEONE isn't going to be so lucky and these guys are going to kill someone....
Remember back to the early days of Domino's Pizza....FAST delivery was advertised.....then a delivery driver hit someone and killed them.....Dominos had their asses sued off and lost....they INSTANTLY changed their policies and advertising because of it.... Dollars to donuts it happens here too with these guys...and not wishing anyone ill will but I hope when it does happen that NBFF gets their asses sued too and they will lose for the same reasons Domino's did.....
Maritime or land it's the same thing when it comes to causing an accident or death...
