Default Blown Down on me!

A 45ft Scarab just got blown down on me, he was leaving his slip and
ran out of fuel. Said someone stole his gasoline. No problem, I have an
anchor off the stern that he hit, slid into the boom on my dink, then
hit the dock. The scratch on his boat isn't pretty. FN powerboaters...

I need one of the Nautlis style rub rails.

Didn't hurt the dink? Was he drunk?

Why don't you weld a couple of spikes on the back
of the boat for next time.

Nah the dink is in the slip with RedCloud between the boat and the
pier/dock and it sprung into the slip, just pushed it forward, only
thing sticking out was the back of the boom.. The anchor is a grappel
type with spade shaped plows on every grappel, thats what scratced him.
It's tie wrapped to the port stern rail corner. He wasnet even drunk,
these guys screw up easy...happens all the time. If I had seen him in
time I could have fended him off with ease, the winds only 6-8 kts.

You need a perimeter of sea mines.
