RE: Trawler info/Buc Days

Yes, we were there sitting on G-2. Notice what's flying from the yard arm! We had a great time until about 2:00AM when we rode back on the shore boat and found a 40 some foot Ocean SF up against our port side with no fenders out. The older couple were holding onto the rails of our boat watching their stainless rub rail grind the crap out the side of my boat. It was a super low tide at the time and a ton of current. I had to call the harbor patrol to pull them back on the mooring ball so they could tighten up the stern line on the SF. The owners stated that the boats were making contact for almost two hours and did nothing. Hammered and angry, we crashed for the night. The next morning (Sunday after Buc) they were gone by the time we got up. Harbor patrol said both boats were loose, so it was a tie on who messed up whom although they pulled up a ton of slack on the stern of the other boat. I figured that dealing with insurance would do no good as the damage was cosmetic. I am very cautious on tide and current and adjust accordingly. But yes we were there! I think were were next to your boat on Charlie or delta a few times. Stop by for a cold one next time you see us there. Dan

I think that is an apt description of Buc Days!
