Default Dangerous Weekend Warrior Boating

Being on the water every day you get to see a lot of crazy stuff that people do, especially on summer weekends. People cutting across your bow by a narrow margin while you're underway when it would be safer to cross your stern, children riding on the bow of the boat with their legs dangling over the water as their father speeds along, giant sport boats throwing a massive wake through a dense fleet of smaller boats drifting for fluke. We saw all of that and more yesterday.
Some of it is ignorance of general rules of the road, some of it is stupidity and some of it is moronic arrogance that crosses the line into downright dangerous boating that could get someone killed.
Well, the boat "CAMMY'S DAD" out of our harbor was all of the above yesterday. The operator of that vessel was as close as you can get to a criminal act of negligent seamanship that I've ever seen. He is very lucky nobody was injured.
As we approached the cut in our harbor "CAMMY'S DAD" overtook us from our stern at high speed at an extremley close distance throwing a dangerous wake as he passed between us and some other small boats. He had difficulty controlling his own boat as he passed in front of our bow. It was absolutely ridiculous in it's stupidity and beyond the pale of bad seamanship. All so he could get in front of us and get back to his slip 10 seconds earlier.

I'm calling this guy out publicly for safety reasons.
Be advised, NJFishing community. When you see the roughly 36 foot express sport boat "CAMMY'S DAD" be on guard. The operator of that vessel is a dangerous boater.
