some have gone elsewhere. I doubt we will ever go back- generally too lawless in the maririme world.
curious - why would anybody haunt a message board of a place to which they will not return - methinks we have another troll?
Bahahaha!
Nope not a troll , I frequently look in on places I have been to see if they change, have done this on several places in the last 2 years - Buenos aires (lots of scams) , Seattle (one of their problems is gypsy cabs).
Our 2010 AC tour ride, full of passengers, also included a wreck in the mangrove area near BC (after a zip line trip) which was caused by a steering failure while running at 25 mph thru the small passages in the mangrove area-. The captain said "gee it broke last week, we fixed it now its broke again"
This boat had 2 large new looking yamaha engines (200 hp?) and was run by a company with a store front on AC, so they had money invested- after the late in the day wreck which took off the 3 stanchion canopy, we found they had no VHF- only a cell phone but that took 6 calls before someone answered (after 5 PM) , no tools, no spare helm(steering) fluid, and amazing to me for a boat that routinely returns at near or after sunset NO FLASHLIGHT. This is why I say there are too many cowboy type operators. Does AC require flashlights on boats operating at night for hire? yes or no?
(about the same time the news was the head on water taxi wreck that I think killed someone? a hotel bartender?-
what would be interesting in the AC maritime issues debate would be a list of recent changes if any , say in last 3 years, in boating laws/rules/regulations in AC area to improve safety
Have there been any? Or is it all talk?
