A Collision In the Marina

The wind is blowing and the incoming tide is flowing hard. The marina was, in our opinion, putting boats in places that were not appropriate. The real excitement was when a single engine trawler tried to back in on the inside of our dock. He lost control and hit the new trawler docked across from us on the next dock. Bounced off it at least five times and destroyed the dinghy hoist. Thousands of dollars of damage. Several other boats had great difficulty docking. The picture is the boat that was hit. The rub rail is ruined. Life sometimes is not easy on the ICW. This is why insurance companies exist.
