Have you met a crew that did respect the waterways and the rules? Honestly? :party-smiley-004:

Thats a speed boat?

What a tard. Exactly the type that manages to rear end a school bus stopped with the lights on.

I had a group of newbie CG guys intentionally hose down my entire boat with salt water a few years back, just North of Pier 66 with one of their deep vee zodiac looking boats. My boat was literally brand new, and we were deep in the no wake zone looking at the big "White House" on the corner in neutral. There wasn't much we could do about it unfortunately, besides pull everything out of the boat when we reached the dock, and hose down the whole boat down with fresh water. We never got it totally clean due to the amount of water the hit us with, including the bilge pumps immediately kicking on. They were just some jealous ***s looking for something to take their mind off of their pathetic lives. I have had some very nice coasties since however. These guys were just a group of losers probably headed to clean a ranking officials toilet, so we laughed.....a little.

Only 28mm now......... My uncle lives diagonally across the ICW from it.

Seems like they are recruited just for the bad attitudes. Nothing about protecting, serving or enforcing...just hassling!

they did not even try to slow down.. nice..that wreck is 100% CG fault in my view..

yeaup, just chopping the throttles would have prevented that mess.........

the guy says CG yelled to the motor boater to slow down.....hahahahahaha you can hardly communicate with your own passengers doing 40mph, let alone boat to boat communication or better yet when two boats are at two different angles coming at each other....what a joke

Yep, I figured anyone that remotely knows the area would catch on to my "White House" reference. Your Uncle's place sounds great! Our place is just up the Intracoastal a little more, South of Bahia Mar. :ernaehrung004:

We were just off the Southwest side, so headed North, they came wide to the West, and carved back to the East, totally hosing us literally like an enourmous wave. They also came within a few feet of my starboard side during the stunt.

Believe me, I GET jokes, and it might have been a little humourous had it not been salt water, and a 3 day old Top Gun T/S. They were just being *****s though.

It's sad to see something like that. One would like to think that any officer, be it a coastie or a police officer/dnr would do the right thing and avoid the accident first and then ticket if necessary. Failure to reduce speed to avoid a collision is a ticket able offense, imo with the other guys looking away the responsibility fell on the captain of the CG vessel.
