An example of a good report to the USCG is "Calling all concerned vessels in the vicinity of Rock Hall MD......We have just been swamped with excessive wakes by fast moving vessel SANCTUARY. We are still assessing damages. Repeat - we are still assessing damages. Vessel refuses to acknowledge on the radio and is moving away quickly".

HAHAHA...  Good one, Ralph!  The only boat that could make that call about Sanctuary would be a canoe!  I can very rarely pass another boat headed in the same direction I am!
