Hello All, I certainly appreciate all of you who took the time to share your experiences and comments regarding boardings.
As I got no definitive answer as to the "why", and perhaps, more likely, there is no simple answer, I do not exactly feel comforted. The idea of having someone's wife dragged over a seawall and forced to stand against a wall is, frankly, scary.
Probably going to rethink this whole ICW thing. Perhaps touring the East Coast by auto is the way after all.
Thank you all,
D.
You do realize that things like this do happen to people in autos too, right? And, probably a lot more often.
