Went to Picton Island and anchored.. its a fairly popular swimming / family / party area.
Mid afternoon the college kids roll in with their 'my xxx is small so I'm compensating (loudly) boat' as well as the required 4 jet ski's. The JetSki's of course HAVE to show EVERYONE that they can't stay still for more than 2 min, and yes, they can hot dog in a crowded cove with kids in the water.
After about 5 min of doing 360's and spraying everyone with the wakes, it happens... one of the JetSki's does a 360 into the side of someones boat at anchor (not in their group of friends). The boater and jetski'er have a conversation.. which results in all the college kids leaving... (bye bye eye candy and dirty looks from the admiral)
SO... what is proper protocall for such a situation? I would be inclined to take the hull numbers and call the coast gaurd or po-po. The only damage that I could see was a nice set of scratches and scuffs on the anchored boats side. Would I be taking it a bit far?
