I was going to say something, but my GF is looking over my shoulder.

What was he going to say???? (that's my girlfriend)
I get more infractions than a $2 hooker in Vegas...
the only one in this thread that got nasty was Scuma.
I didn't assume you were talking about me. I get more infractions than a $2 hooker in Vegas... I assumed you were talking about jg300da.
If you ask me, Sea Gull could have said what he did a little nicer rather speaking down from his thrown. I defended Gnealon at which point he obv took a jab at me...I just simply went in for the TKO. You mess with the Bull, you get the horns.
"tell your wife I say hello" was horns?
I agree with what you have said in rgds to the carelessness out on the water these days but there is a high road and a low road when it comes to "bestowing" knowledge on others, and you took the low my friend.
Yes, I am the *******. I appreciate that people come to this site to learn and the OP is to be praised for allowing others to learn from his mistakes. But to me, this guys situation represents everything that is wrong with boating today.
Every day I am on the water I see people operating boats unsafely. Making wakes in no wake zones or bow riding. I see them skiing, wakeboarding or tubing without a spotter, overloading, operating too fast. I pick them up on radar, with no nav. lights at night, anchoring in an active channel, etc. Here we have a guy who does not know his boat, does not know his equipment (didn't even bother to check if it was working before relying on it for primary navigation). He may or may not have paper charts onboard. He relied on "friends" who turned out not to be all too helpful, and he was traveling at excessive speed - just to name a few.
Perhaps my post makes me an *******, but if by being an ******* to one person I can keep another from making the same boneheaded decisions then so be it. I am a man of few words, but an overwhelming desire to keep you and everyone else on the water safe.
what was that road you took again?
