It sounded like he ran cuz he was scared of what would happen to him when police came. Honestly I would have been sheiting myself to. He seems to not be a malicious person but geez he real stupid to be boating through there in the first place.

Ignorance might not be a crime, but stupidity will get you arrested

Just clarifying something rspann,- what direction were you headed and what direction was he headed?
I take it you had the RIGHT of way according to the Rules of the sea?
if you DID, i would have scared the crap out of that other boat just to teach them a lesson!

Did they say what part of the beach she got hit?
the eastern side of that beach (Las Cuevas) looks like this. There is a fishing depot there.

We were running parallel to each other heading east,he was behind by a few meters,and to my right, when all of a sudden he veered left,crossing almost under my bow.I had my whole family on board and I was not taking any chances I had to cut all my speed immediately.

I think it is unlikely that she was swimming in between or close to all of those boats AND he was travelling parallel to the shoreline at such a high speed in between all those boats.

If that was the case I would downgrade from calling him stupid to calling him reckless. Can anyone confirm which part of the beach the accident took place?

thats what I'm hoping for as well.
The strange thing is the most eastern life guard tower has boats on sand right next to it (boats tied because at high tide they float), directly ahead of it, and even between it and the ramp up to the beach facilities. when it comes to the sea - Bathers > pirogues. You'd bathe by a lifeguard tower wouldn't you?

Those boats don't teleport back and forth. they go in the water right there, and come out the water right there. Anywhere from the ramp, and east of it.

As for high rate of speed - ABS doesn't work in the water.

Even if you cut all power or try reverse. momentum carries for some distance.

rspann...I commend you on your gallantry.

THAT is the best possible thing you could have done and it just drives home my belief that people in this country who operate vehicles of any sort just don't give a damn anymore..anything goes apparently..
