I don't know how it is in Florida, but in NJ the crane operator is licensed, insured and fully culpable in a Court of Law. He has the final say Go/NoGo. Worked with/not for Casey Crane Rigging for years..A professional rigging company. So seeing this kind of jackassery amazes me.

Imagine how Terex feels about seeing one of their Rough Terrain cranes in a compromising photo like this.

No panic, but certainly no high speed nonsense.

Ed - Same thing happened to us off OC MD years back in a 35 Cigarette. We only had a compass and a depth finder. We SLOWED up. stayed due South, kept an eye out for the beach and the fishing pier and knew the inlet was about 1,200 feet south of the pier on the starboard side. Made it home safe, no scratches on the Cigarette and no restaurants injured!
