Moving kinda slow.  Must have been very disorienting even if she was not banged up.

This Videointerviews the woman on the boat and some close up pics of the damage

and at the 2min mark shows the stolen boat crashing into a older sedan/trawler  And then into a sea wall

"He’s pissed off about gas prices and he’s just trying to create work for people, he’s a real go getter!!!!

Prolly just circling until the rest of the convoy fills in.

This thread delivers!

I hope the thief has a long and fruitful career. We need another Rimas to show us the true delight of life on the water.

"It seems like every single inch of this portion of the harbor was affected..." Well, 4 or 5 boats out of 9,000 anyway.
The "rare 1960 Trollycraft" [sic] :  rare indeed!
