Yeah, I got the whack in the head too, it just happened to come from this old guys buddy. This guy had a hearing aid and the batteries were conveniently dead so he couldn't hear when you asked him to move down the rail. No joke, I later found out that this same guy was notorious for such behaviour - I talked to a guy on this trip who had been fishing long range for many years and he told me that he had to share a state room with this guy several years earlier on a 10 day trip and that the guy brought a milk crate for one reason only - to piss in the sink. He was short so he needed the extra foot - and no I am not joking - it really was the same guy!
