So over the weekend one of the boats I race on was happily sitting at its mooring. The owners sister decides to (crash) first go over to their private dock and pick up his wife! They wanna see the great new boat!
Now, you might know what happened here just by that previous (), well her being the self proclaimed GREAT boat driver in her pretty new Searay breaks the padanaram no wake rule (gets yelled at) goes over to said boat I race on and tries to come along side.
Oh it gets good.
Comes towards the boat going down wind with the bow (with a prominently placed oversided danforth) and hits reverse on the I/O without turning the wheel first.
Yep, danforth right into the brand new Gelcoat.
DUG it in down to the glass.
......
Puts it in forward and bounces the anchor AGAIN off the boat and finally comes along side and gouges the toe rail.
......
DOSEN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING BUT HOLD ON FOR 5 SECONDS THEN WANDER OFF!
......
Said sister didn't dare tell the owner.
She let his wife tell him.
Moral of this story?
I'm gonna start writing politicians for there to be tests/licensing to allow people to buy/own/pilot boats.
Because I'm seriously sick of all the idiots that have been out there already this year.
heres one Likwid.. i am down in virgin gorda at a marina filling our water tanks at the fuel dock. a boat ( a crewless moorings rental boat) comes in to the dock down wind with all sails up and expects me to catch their bow line. yeah right...... Had I done it, i could have done some serious serious damage They were so confused that i wouldnt take their lines they simply sailed away
Yup.. I'll be in a 60ft box doing 6knots dodging them all weekend :-(
