I spent many a day in teh early 80's sitting 100 yards off a disabled vessel while Tim Peregoy played his games just to get his way and push the entire "marine salvage" policy of the Coast Guard. I've watched first hand in my 23 years of service and have to say that most of the actions I've seen are befitting of the name "pirates" given to the industry.
