Not for nothing, you'd have to have the CG on speed dial to report all of the ridiculous activity on a nice summer weekend. You'd be calling 100 times a day just reporting the boats too close to Earle...

Sounds good - just throwing in my $.02

And BTW - nobody was making assumptions - I was going on WHAT YOU SAID IN YOUR ORIGINAL POST

Nice work by Capt Kevin for finding the guy and addressing it also, in person!

He's got physical issues and chemo as you might guess is nasty. Past the vomiting and hair loss and other stuff it affects ones ability to fully concentrate. Add on a little age and brain farts become more frequent.

If he doesn't have the ability to concentrate he shouldn't be on the water at all. Especially with a 36 foot boat in weekend traffic.

I have to agree, regardless what has happened in his past, it doesn't give him the right to put others in harms way, period! It's as though justifying a drunk driver's reckless behavior because something bad happened in his/her past, you're still behind the wheel of a potential killing machine when not handled responsibly.

If the guy has troubles then he has my sympathy but, you know, that's life. Bad things happen.
There is absolutely no excuse for what he did and if he can't understand that his actions were extremely dangerous than he has no business operating that vessel. Period.
