How embarrassing.
This fella was getting ready to dock at Greg Normans restaurant ($$$$) at Barefoot Landing. I was watching him from the back of my boat and noticed that his approach was getting dangerously close to a major shoal area.
I tried to get his attention to by waving at him to let him know (didn’t have time to get on the radio), but it was too late. Sure enough, he slams to a dead stop. He must have had a gazillion bucks worth of nav stuff on that very nice boat, but still managed to veer way too far over.
I thought he was going to burn out his bow thruster trying (unsuccessfully) to get off.
Even more embarrassing, the little Sea Ray that was able to pull him off, to the applause of all the folks dining on the outside deck of the restaurant.
Fortunately for him, the bottom there is all mud, so there probably wasn’t any damage, as opposed to what would have happened less than a mile further up on the “Rock Pile”. KJ
