I wonder if liability to perform changes with a "pro" vs. Just a standard schmuck renting a lobster boat......

There are laws (especially here in fl) against non fl licensed contractors performing repairs on homes.....

I am a licensed captain with a towing endorsement....but I do not work in a tow for revenue capacity. I got the endorsement only to be a better captain. However, the local sea tow office called me when the horizon caught fire and subsequently leaked oil into the gulf because all of their captains jumped on the bp cleanup gravy train and left them without qualified trained and experienced tow captains. The first thing they asked me was if I had my endorsement.

So....if the pros have minimum guidelines, why wouldn't "joes"?

I own a flatbed rollback international tow truck.....but dot would hang me out to dry if I didn't have a license to tow with adequate on hook liability insurance....even with " not for hire" on the side.

It is seeming more and more like Admirality laws dispute every other right that guaranteed to us by the constitution and all subsequent amendments.

To me, it seems like it is there specifically to ALLOW piracy. Pros and joes get to operate under the protection that these phucked up and outdated laws provide.....and the pros are quick to point this out.

If you know about me, look at this s h I t . .I will post the response from the other side.....phuckerz

I don't know what happened today other than their plan did not go as planned!

I don't think they are retiring today on selling (stealing boats). I know there are police all around down by the coast to stop looting, I'm sure someone either sh*t their pants or was given a "Is that your boat, if not leave it!" talking to.

Anyway, now I'm thinking: maybe it means they're the evil boat stealing men. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here... he's the shepherd protecting my boat in the valley of salvage. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's Sandy that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that sh*t ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Pirates. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.
