To make a long story short, I called the Coast Guard yesterday and spoke with an investigator
for about 30 minutes. They've told me that the New Seaforth has had several
complaints filed against them.
Being a vigilante isn't the right way to go. Use the legal system. The CG has the
power to revoke their commercial license, so that's the way I'm going to go. Also,
taking pictures of the boat/captain when being buzzed will go a long way if legal
action is pursued.
Just my 2 cents.

All of those vessels have log books so there shouldn't be any problem ID'ing the Skipper in Charge on any given day. I think photos w/ dates could help build a strong case. That stuff just shouldn't be happening.
