Not to worry!
When you kick him off he will motor to FL flying a Greenpeace pendant and his nose in the air.
Guarantee he throws out a 2 lb anchor and prays for a hurricane. He will take out an entire marina, claim insurance and abandon it…
When the rag-beaters pass each other on the ICW they yell out the marina bathroom combos to each other.Their mantra is ''If it's free,it's for me''

Unfortunately in this plot theme, there are many character flaws with the protagonist. There is such a lack of heart and emotion driving the narrative, I find it hard to believe because you just can’t make this stuff up.

I don't understand why the guy wasn't arrested? If they have video footage then I would have thought it would have been almost automatic arrest for criminal negligence and public endangerment.

Well… the sailboat poacher is off the mooring.

Mooring hauled.

Called the harbor master and he said it was up on the rocks within the last 24 hours. Some ding dong (f mills) saved the boat and put it on someone else’s mooring.

I’ve never seen a mooring so fouled. I haven’t a clue what happened.

What’s the sailboat in the 2nd pic?
Doesn’t look like the poacher’s Tartan, more like a yawl or ketch rig.

I hate to generalize and have worked with and done jobs for all sorts of people in the marine community, both recreational and commercial. Generally the sailboaters are always the worst, and yes the “wind is free” mentality takes hold.

Even back as a kid working the fuel dock we’d call it the “sailboat special”- 5 gallons of diesel, 100 gallons of water, a pump out, and no tip. The boats that would come in and top off with 800 gallons of diesel would usually give us a a better tip

Again there are assholes and also very great people in every part of the marine world, both sail and power
Had the same experience growing up as a deckhand and launch driver.. Sailboaters treat you like their own personal hand and are cheap SOBs when it came to tipping.. the blue collar guy that came into fuel up in a shitty center console was always generous...

To add to Bills observation, ever notice that the guy who stops to help a broke down motorist is driving a P/U or older car and not a Mercedes or Lexus. And definitely not a lawyer from Chaple Hill.

When you take a rich entitled guy like this thread is about they show off in front of other rich entitled guys.. they think they are better than other people..
In college one summer I was a deck hand on some guys yacht. When we pulled into Nantucket Harbor he had the dock kids pump out his holding tank.. it’s a free service and as the owner of the yacht walked away from the kid (who just pumped out his shit ) he just said thank you . The kid immediately called him out and said “hey sir this is a gratuity service “ it was awesome

On the way over to Nantucket his rich butt buddy was following us and ran over a pot in his yacht and was stuck.. I offered to jump in with my new spyderco and cut it off for him. When I swam up I left the knife on BBs boat. He said I’ll give it back to you later.. he barely said thank you and never got the knife back. These guys would be friends with the guy this thread is about.. they would have applauded him
