WOW! that's crazy!

Good thing nobody was on those boats.  I'm guessing the ship got off-course somehow, and ended up too close to the harbor.  Something tells me that captain will be out of a job.

The cruise ship Bro

A captain is responsible for his wake, even if his boat is 600 feet long.

@LaRea 100%...in agreement..... a local go fast owner, whose wife owns a very big cruiser, had to pay, I was told, a very substantial reparation when his wife's cruiser caused a big a wake along the American shoreline near Alexandria Bay!

Now MT is attacking LR?

LaRea

Handy, what are you smoking.

Handymans342

Wow, I hope they all had good insurance, although I'm sure the cruise company is gonna have a hefty fee and fine. Craziness.

Handymans342

i betcha insurance companies are going to be ALL about paying out for this happenstance to individual property owners...... so they can LIGHT UP Carnival for three times that cost incurred.....
