Can't tell you how many boaters were pissed at the group hanging out at the Margate sandbar with the stereo on one of the pontoon boats cranked up all day long. Several times when they thought his battery was dead a bunch of boaters started cheering. 
It is one thing to play music for yourself but another to be rude and inconsiderate enough to make the rest of us have to listen to crappy music on crappy speakers. |
I've had similar thoughts over the years and for that reason, I try to keep my own stereo down so as not to disturb others anchored next to me.
Last weekend, 8/19 to be exact, we were at the Margate sandbar and had the exact same situation, one pontoon boat playing music loud enough for everyone within 300 ft on either side of them to hear it clearly. I didn't think of complaining too much though since I was enjoying their choice in music but it was still loud and I felt bad for the other boaters that were closer than we were.

They stated he became concious but could not feel his lower body. Pray that it was a temporary condition......

I pray he had health insurance otherwise the rest of us are paying for his healthcare! Once again, if Common Sense had prevailed, he would've been fine!
