Since there is no license needed here in fl to sail.. and until this year you didnt even have to register or title cats under 20'... how would a new sailor know?


It's pretty self centered to think, the only thing going on here is that someone lost a boat. The skipper of that boat created a hazard to navigation when he left it. The CG should know about all wrecks and debris to issue a warning to mariners.A powerboat hitting that at speed could be ugly, A jetski hitting it at speed could be hilarious.

Glad everyone was OK.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
