I would have stayed calm and called to cops afterwards too. That other driver looked like the antagonist in a rob zombie movie. I ain't becoming some back woods weirdos next science project!

Thanks for sharing that, just a reminder to keep and eye and ear out at all times, this is a great
example, I believe the yakker was toatally prepared, flag, light pfd, phone,
video footage, all check check, luckily unscathed, except for the rudder and yak damage, could have been alot worse, looks like he has all the necessary proof to be reimbursed...you just never know, so hopefully everyone thinks about this when OTW, in the open ocean it could get alot uglier....careful out there guys and gals

That is a lucky guy...

He was a couple of inches away from death, or paralyzed for life.

Looks like those 2 knuckle heads were going to drive off and leave him there.

I guess those bright orange flags don't mean much if the guy driving the boat is not looking where he is going.

Seemed odd to me that he seemed to be looking right at them bearing down on him and never tried to move. Obviously the boaters were seriously at fault, but my head is always on a swivel!
