Girl almost drowns at Claudios

I am sure that some of you guys saw this happen. It was around 4:30 and a girl fell of the pier at Claudios, maybe she was drunk and could not swim. Her boyfriend jumped in but was struggling with her. Me and my buddy jumped over the wall and went down the ladder and he had grabbed her arm,but she was struggling and he had to let her go. While this was happening he lost his sunglasses into the water. I grabbed hold of her boyfriend and her and got them to the ladder, he was to tired to help her up so I pulled thm up the ladder to the pier. My buddy still in the water dove for his sunglasses. The bouncer came up and said he had to leave for being the water. I told this jerk we just saved this girl from drowning and should be buying us a drink. Anyways I could go on about all the details but I could not believe they through us out after helping like that. I just thought I would share this story with you guys,hopefully some of you saw it and comment in it. 12 years I have been going there and it is not hte first time we have helped someone there, and this is how it goes. I will still dock there but I will never spend a nickle there.

Yea Jay, you Just missed it. The bouncer not only gave Charlie and Frank a real hard time, but kicked our whole group out !!! About 8 very willing to pay customers supporting a almost drowning customer, and we get kicked out ?? Frank, I think we deserve an apology, and a round of drinks for you and Charlie for saving Claudios from a possible law suite! The whole thing was....

I would call and get in touch with the owner and let him/her know what happened! That bouncer needs a tune up.

That really does suck guys. Been going there a long time too and one thing I've noticed is the bouncers seem to have a god complex. At lest you guys were able to help the drunk chick and her boyfriend. Thats the important part.

That's wild.... I agree with Audio, call the owner and tell him/her what happened, and how after YOU helped that YOU were treated like crap, plus all your years of patronage. If he is any sort of businessman he will appreciate that and make things right.....I will almost bet on it!
