Lock 1 - Sailboat 0
 

bridge must have "snuck up on them".haha

That's some tough current there, hard to deal with unless you have some hp...too bad for the kids.

Driver must have been drinking...

Good thing he had his safety lanyard on

Oh wait..


X 2 on the current, that stuff was rollin' !

Poor guy in the back was rowing like crazy but it sure didn't look like it did much!

Alcohol had to be involved!!!

What we have here boys and girls is a very rare thing - caught on video. A sailboat captain loses control of his craft and crashes. Lives (three kids in this case) are put at risk, but everyone appears to get out OK thanks to some alert nearby boaters. As funny as this might be to watch, remember that powerboat captains sometimes lose control of their craft and lives are also put at risk. Sometimes this is caught on video too. The difference is that we're generally going a good deal faster, so there's more at stake. Think about that next time you're out in your boat.

Be safe out there!
