Last July I saw a Viking 40 going about 24 knots go right into Brenton Reef in the middle of a clear, bright day. It sank in about 3 minutes. You can't make this stuff up.
Last year when I was docked at a certain marina in Warwick Cove a guy took his new boat out the channel on a windy day and hit just about every out board on the row..ding..ding...ding..ding.. right down the dock.. then the SOB panicked turned her around and hit the same ones coming back until he ran aground on a mud flat. I told him to turn his *(&& engine off and me another guy hauled him in by hand. The next week he put his boat up for sale. Thank God.
