Therefore, for miss-naming his 29' Chaparal 290 Signature cruiser the Naut Guilty as opposed to the Knot Guilty....I hereby find him guilty and sentence him to writing KNOT GUILTY on the blackboard 2900 times with his left hand....so he'll start to find out what it's like to be without a usable right arm..... so be it!
Less, this is a tragic event for all involved. Whether they are the victim or the owner and operator of the boat, or their families, their lives are changed forever. It is a sad day and may cause many of us to be more careful when we boat.

I, for one, do not think this is a great story to put humor to.
