10. Again, why you think your experience in the Dells has any relevance escapes me.

Nov 2018

The incident occurred 500 miles away at Table Rock Lake. The boat was modified into a "stretch duck", so it carried many more people. I think I remember there was some question over the qualifications of the owner to do the modifications. In any case, this company has nothing to do with the Duck Boats in the Dells.

Who ever claimed it was professional? You scoffed at "ship captain" and I pointed out that only you were saying ship. I also pointed out that the person in charge of the boat is the captain, regardless of experience. And he was 51, not a college student, as you seem to think is the only thing possible, apparently because you once saw a Duck Boat 500 miles away.
