Thought I'd share another antic I saw.
Decided to go out today and try the private/pay for use ramp at the marina. The public ramp is always packed and it seems the airheads and non boaters eating at the restaurant don't respect the no parking signs where the "turn around" area is.
Anyways, back to the story. After getting the boat in and making sure all was well we slowly pushed off. As soon as I nudged the throttle to idle speed I hear "Thunk" I think "Crap, is there a rock or something?). I turn around to see some IDIOT with a 30' or so Sail boat using a all aluminum ferry (to go out to Dog Island) as his bumpers to back out of his slip. I couldn't believe this. The guy completely rubbed, bumped, traded paint, with this boat. And the captain was completely clueless as if nothing was happening. I decided to go a tad bit faster to stay away from this maniac.
The guy was lucky the Ferry owner wasn't around or else he would have had a firm "confrontation" with him, I'm sure.
