I personally am angered when I pass stupid snorkelers in my boat who could be run over by me if i wasn't keeping a sharp eye out for the ignorance of others, knowing that if i hit one I could be jailed and my license revoked.I feel sorry for the poor captain and little sympathy for the tourist!



Really Elbert?? I think that is a terrible attitude. As much as I generally like your posts this one was terrible! I drive a boat and watch where I'm going but I definitly have a lot of Sympathy for a tourist that was snorkeling close to a dock and had his leg cut off by a reckless captain!!
