You are being most charitable toward waterskir. The reason I object to his curmudgeonly remarks toward some forum members is that most of them care deeply what happens to others, and I have personally had the benefit of their suggestions on many occasions. Their comments are mot meant to embarrass anyone....they truly feel sorry that the accident happened. So...
please be more kind, waterskir.....it might make you feel better.
There.....I’ve had my say....that’s it! 😇

To Watrskir: Your posts are off the mark! Everyone that posted was respectful and sympathetic towards the owner. There is nothing here to be concerned about.

We have all learned a lot from this website including the lessons learned from the accidents of others. I think the information posted on this site has made many of us better boaters and helped to further a sense of community on the lake. It's all good!

I agree that we all learn a lot from the Forum however, I personally would not want pictures of any mishap that happened to me posted on here regardless of what it "teaches" anyone. I think it puts the involved parties in an awkward position, they have enough to deal with the incident itself.

I agree, even understanding best intentions and sympathies from all, it would only make the matter that much worse for me knowing everyone else sees the details in such vivid and up close pictures.

Not condemning anyone here, just saying if this were me, I would prefer the intimate details of damage done to the boat not be broadcast to the world.

I think its enough for any of us who love our boats (and all boats) to say this is a heartbreaking event for the owner.
