Title: Keep your Eyes Out (repost from General Discussion Thread)
Post by: Sailchick on June 03, 2013, 08:17:01 AM
I'm reposting this from the General Discussion thread but I think everyone needs to see it and watch for this boat to report them.

From USCG Galveston:

Last evening (5/26/2013), the crew of 25809 responded to a boat collision off Seawolf Park, they transferred a man who had been thrown into the water when a Catamaran power driven vessel collided with a S/V. The man and woman were transported to UTMB with injuries, and the Catamaran Hull left the scene without stopping to aid the occupants of the S/V. If you are in the local area and see a white catamaran (power driven) vessel with heavy bow damage, please call             409-766-5633      . Very sad that this boater failed to follow the navigation rules of the road and worse yet, fled the scene.

I'm glad they caught the guy.  Please keep the couple in your thoughts.  The man is still in the hospital with broken ribs and a punctured liver.
