Some ahole in a blue collared aluminum rib of some sort came within 10 feet of me at speed just to slow way off plane and then gun it to cross 20 ft in front of my bow. The waves almost knocked me out of my 17 whaler. I was in gear only trolling off Henry island tying a leader with my five year old in the boat. They sped away and all i saw was a big sign that said SOUNDWATCH

I invite you guys to visit their website to learn all about how they are a watchdog power. Be sure to read how their goal is to patrol the San Juan's doing everything short of actually enforcing the marine mammal protection act. These self empowered guys will patrol and educate while recording info on infractions they judge to worthy Don't worry though they will be reporting all of the bad boaters and whale watching outfits that get too close to any whales or seals , in a report to the whale watching industry. CC NOAA? Jebus rice I guess I should buy an old cop car and start pulling people over to inform them of the traffic laws I believe they don't know as well as myself. Might as well use the lights to pull them and if I don't like them I'll record their license plate. This way I won't need a gun. Right? If that ahole trys to swamp me and my kid again I'll be forced to inform him about boater saftety face to face.
