Nice dock job on Elsinore on Mon

[Danhercules]

Some guy at at Elsinore thought he would drive his boat up the dock. He was nose to the dock, with his passenger getting off the bow, and I guess he thought he was in reverse, but he was not, goosed it and almost beached it on the dock. WOW> what a sight.

I saw a similar incedent occur at Lake Arrowhead some years ago. The guy pulled into his slip a little hot, and after several manuvers shifting back & forth from forward to reverse he hit the throttle to stop the boat right at the desired position. Only problem was he thought it was in reverse and the whole boat jumped up onto the dock, knocking their dock box across the dock and narrowly missed several of us on the dock. We were sitting in deck chairs at near by slips in front of his. A very scary experience to be sure. Docking is such a routine thing around the various slips on busy holiday weekends. Nobody expected what happened and it was all very sudden. Just lucky no one was injured or worse.

Once the chop started we were plowing through it, that 21'r was like a flatbottom, airborne just taking the chop...that was something...I actually talked my dad into putting his bimini top on, it really helps cut back, I think it is cool, he still hates it.
