Beer Can 13 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I hope that nobody was taking a snooze below on one of those docked powerboats. Would seem like waking to Armageddon, I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites

SloopJonB 12,589 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 We had a similar event near my house a few years ago - a large ferry lost prop control entering the dock and turned into the beach and marina to avoid a super hard landing. There's vid of it somewhere - B.C. ferry crash or Horseshoe bay ferry incident or something. Link to post Share on other sites
SEAJACK 0 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Kind of reminds me of the upper Nordstrom parking lot at UTC during the women's 1/2 off sale... Link to post Share on other sites
JasonD 2 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Looks like the tug was pushing the ship into the marina, only the ship using it's engine stopped it. Link to post Share on other sites
Team Subterfuge 21 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 To fit the Caddyshack reference, it would have been funny if after the ship finally came to a stop, the life boat dropped. Would be interesting what the tug boat was doing while the carnage was happening. Waiting for the contract to be signed? Link to post Share on other sites
