Boat owner from page 6
I was wrong, his problems continued and actually got worse. Once in the harbor, he stopped for

fuel. When he attempted to back away from the dock, his port shaft dislodged from the coupling,
leaving him with one engine and very little maneuverability. Still close to the dock, he was able
to throw a line to the dock master. With help from other boaters, his vessel was pulled in and
secured at the fuel dock.
Local boaters on the dock that had overheard VHF radio transmissions gathered to discuss the
situation with the boater. They asked how he got his 35-foot cruiser in such a dangerous position.
His explanation was, “I had an old chart that did not show the lighthouse.” The lighthouse was
erected over 100 years ago and the chart clearly indicates the aid and its position. The operator
simply did not know how to read a chart.
Luck, as mentioned earlier, was definitely with this man. Hopefully, he will get some boating
education before his luck runs out. If not, he will likely be another boating mishap statistic. During
the off-season this boat operator would benefit from a few evenings spent at classes. His boating
would be a more enjoyable pastime and a safer experience for his guests on board. MAB
