I have had meetings inbound after announcing too. Yep, a charter boat, and that was after announcing and signaling. Maybe I should have had Slabhunter out there looking out for me... |
Woody for short is just fine......
I didn't really hope to gain anything, but get feedback.... I will repeat for the tenth time..... It just struck me as innappropriate that a guy 1/2 mile back would see the need to announce my arrival to the port.... he was way to far back to have depth perception to even know how close I was....
It would have been totally different if he was close enough to actually see where I was in relation to the hole, and I had not announced and he was right behind me to simply call out himself behind another sport vessel....
I was just venting to see what others thought.... I have mixed opinions, some think it was fine, others think it was ove zealous, but all think he meant well... No big deal....
This is a discussion board where people share experiences both good and bad.... Get feedback etc...
I also went side by side in the hole with Mariner about 5 years ago and it was a butt puckering moment to say the least.... announced I was inbound headed in and there he was coming out as I was committed to the hole... Had the coast guard come out after I had announced, I was able to turn out before I was committed, I contacted them on the radio to bitch at them and he told me they were responding to a call and didn't have time to announce...Sorry..
It happens, since when does a captain on another boat start taking responsibility for someone elses boat from a half mile back? That's my only bitch...
