Again, not trying to piss on your parade... I'd rather see realize the faults in the argument here among friends rather than in court!
I do hope you can get the $$ back. the crappy thing is, they probably have a collection of anchors at their shop just from things like that.... |

First, stop with all this jail talk about firing a gun at sea. It is not illegal. It is way outside city jurisdiction and quite frankly if a vessel is being dragged uncontrollably by a dragger who will not stop... is clearly a vessel in serious distress.
If not responding to radio/horn etc, a gun shot (every 60 seconds) is a perfectly LEGAL way to to get some attention.
SECTION 1: DISTRESS SIGNALS
(PRESCRIBED BY THE INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS FOR PREVENTING
COLLISIONS AT SEA 1972)
To be used or displayed, either together or separately, by a vessel (or seaplane on the water) in distress requiring assistance from
other vessels or from the shore.
1.A gun or other explosive signal fire at intervals of about a minute
2. A continuous sounding with any fog-signaling apparatus.
3. Rockets or shells, throwing red stars fired one at a time at short intervals.
4. A signal made by radiotelegraphy or by any other signaling method consisting of the group • • • – – – • • • SOS in the
Morse Code.
5. A signal sent by radiotelephony consisting of the spoken word “MAYDAY”.
6. The International Code Signal of distress indicated by NC.
7. A signal consisting of a square flag having above or below it a ball or anything resembling a ball.
8. Flames on the vessel (as from a burning tar barrel, oil barrel, etc.).
9. A rocket parachute flare or a hand flare showing a red light.
10. A smoke signal giving off a volume of orange-colored smoke.
11. Slowly and repeatedly raising and lowering arms outstretched to each side.
12. The radiotelegraph alarm signal.*
13. The radiotelephone alarm signal.**
14. Signals transmitted by emergency position-indicating beacons.***

I can see where this may end up getting bogged down in technicalities.... However, Mike states he was anchored, within the fleet, in daylight. That the dragger deliberately chose a course that clipped his anchor and dragged his vessel, is poor seamanship and just wrong in my opinion. The Bank is large enough for the two factions to coexist, yet this captain has to pull this crap. He had room and opportunity to avoid this "collision". Nothing more than trying to be the bully. Lights, balls, and signals aside, he was just wrong.

Example, The US Navy tosses the aressting gear cabels from aircraft carriers overboard after they reach 100 arrested landings. Those things are huge and are like $80K a piece.
Sorry, off topic

Just got out of court.
The vessel owner, the Capt. & the deck hand were all there.
Their defense was pretty much "it wasn't us" and "maybe a shark or a whale did it". I can't prove it was them etc...
The court is going to take it under advisement and we will get a decision in the mail, in about a week.

Good luck. What was their "attitude" towards you?
