Emster23 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 " The boat captain had ignored a rough seas warning...." Is he the owner also? Was he following orders? He and owner should be charged with reckless endangerment, if such a charge might exist here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
