Report Of Laser Light Pointed At Ferry Captain

February 17, 2014

The captain on board the ferry vessel Georgia reported to Harbour Radio on Wednesday [Feb 12] that someone on shore near Darrells Wharf was shining a laser light risking the captain’s vision being affected. Police investigated the report but were unable to locate the source of the laser.

A Bermuda Harbour Radio spokesperson said, “On Wednesday 12th February 2014 at 7:05pm, Bermuda Radio receives a Vhf Radio call from Ferry Vessel Georgia, reporting that someone is trying to blind the Ferry Captain with a Laser Light from shoreside east of Darrells Wharf.

“Bermuda Radio contacts COMOPS, and a Police Land Unit is sent to Harbour Road east of Darrells Wharf to investigate. A Police Constable travels across from Darrells Wharf to Albuoys Point on the Georgia in an effort to locate the source of the Laser. However nothing further was sighted, and the Ferry vessel retired for the evening.”

    No, you are not going to find the idiot running around with the laser pointer. Simple enough reaction for the skipper is to shield his eyes or stop the ferry till the fool onshore gets bored & finds something else to annoy wuth his toy.

    Is this a real story? Captain watches too much tv. He’s not piloting a plane. Laughable …
