Did you have an anchor ball displayed? I was under the impression that any vessel regardless of length is required to have a black ball displayed when at anchor.

Not that I've ever seen one, especially out in that clusterf*ck...

Filed a lenghty report with the coast guard.
Called my insurance co- No help there, it's under my deductable.
Got qoute from hamilton marine for replacement value of what was taken from me{$490.00}
Called owner who did returned my call ,then told me to go Eff myself. Sent certified mail including CG reports, quote and demand for payment to company\corp. owner with intent to file lawsuit within 14 days.
Next step, i'm fileing small claims lawsuit for 490.00 for what was taken from me.
Accident or not, that does not relieve the captain of responsiblilty.
He effin dragged my boat for over 100 yards before the line snapped and then tried to screw!
I'm out 600' of line, 15' of 5/8 chain, a 22# anchor and a few shackles..I want it back! simple as that.
It's no different then someone running over your spread of 8 spreader bars cutting every single one and then simply turning a blind eye and denying it ever happened. or taking one of your penn 50's
Not chump change here.
I want back what was taken from me..

Wouldn't that be the nautical equivilent of a "hit and run"?

Although you didn't suffer any serious damage or physical loss, it could have happened just as easily.

This "part-time english speaking POS needs to be made to pay!
Although revenge and retaliation sound justified, they would just lower you to his level. Make sure to try an include ALL your court cost in the small claims filing, so that he can feel the pleasure of paying for you to beat his sorry arse in court!!!
