A few years ago I was coming into the inner harbor on my brother-in-laws Parker. A CG skiff that has the rubber floaties around the gunnel came along side. This hollywood type with the aviators on was hanging off of the skiff staring at my sister-in-law and her friend. The grabbed a couple of towels and covered up the suits they had on. The staring lasted for a good five minutes. I finally leaned over and stared back at the guy. I asked him if their was a problem. He doesn't say anything and they veer off and went back to the outer harbor. It was extremely rude. I figure they were weekenders and not full-time coasties. My sister-in-law is very attractive but what occurred was unacceptable. My brother-in-law couldn't believe I said anything to Mr. Hollywood.
