Re: Strange Things You've Seen on the Water
Bob same thing happened to me in a small center console whaler with my son and friend on board. We got too close to the buoy markers, weren't inside, and out of nowhere three military personnel were on us in their zodiac with a bow mounted M-16 pointed right at us. I asked the guy if he'd mind pointing it in a different direction before there was an accidental discharge and his response was I'll move it once you immediately vacate the area to your port which if you don't know is your left. I understand they have a job to do but the entire situation could have been handled with a bit more diplomacy.
At the same time, I guess when you consider it from their point of view there are a lot of people in the bay that have absolutely no idea where they're going and they probably deal with boaters crossing the boundary line all day long. And the risk is real with no margin of error. So from that standpoint, lesson learned. |

Re: Strange Things You've Seen on the Water
With the location of my marina I pass the security zone 3-4-5 times a week during the season. My plotter is set to run me just past the white buoys to give me the shortest run to the Hook.
I’ve dealt with the guys multiple times. Never once rude or condescending or unprofessional in any way. Intimidating ? Yeah maybe but good guys nonetheless.

Re: Strange Things You've Seen on the Water
Was trolling in the caribbean years ago and hooked a barracuda. Took it in and while boatside in the water another bigger (huge) cuda shot up from the deep like a missle and in one bite chopped the hooked fish right in half. It hung out next to the boat, agitated, as if it was waiting for it's next victim. Startling how badass those cudas are!

Re: Strange Things You've Seen on the Water
Mid 70's out on our yearly bluefishing to barnaget ridge with capt newt out of barnget. Doing our usual chumming with those 5 gallon gold buckets. Watching newt clean every spec of chum from each bucket and then those it overboard. Asked him why he tossed it and said they did not want them back. Well as the bucket drifted away before sinking a huge fin was circling the bucket. Just watched with wide eyes and our boat was a wooden boat with a converted tank engine similuar to the one in jaws. Will always remember that fin.
