Thank you Captain Bernstein for writing the truth about recreational boaters ("Sharing our nation's waterways safely," WorkBoat, July, page 9.) It is astounding that more aren't maimed or killed due to their abject disregard for the rules of the road. It's as if they think a big commercial vessel can turn like a car. In 34 years of handling marine claims, every time I get involved in a commercial vessel-recreational vessel incident, the recreational vessel owner has whined about how commercial vessels "think they own the waterways." Every single time, however, it is the recreational boater who is in the wrong. Travel safe sir and thank you for creating commerce on our wonderful and beautiful inland waterway systems. |
