I wonder if alcohol was involved?

This boat ran into the walking pier in Penticton. Everyone was OK

Geez, and here I am thinking that's the proper way to work on your kicker at the dry dock ;)
 
"fortunately people were alert and avoided the boat without injury"

....you have to be pretty into the view to miss the 30' cruiser barrelling down on your lakeside perch lol.
 
Maybe watching to many youtube videos of guying jumping boats over obstacles. Maybe the guy is a skateboarder and forgot what sport he was doing at the time. LOL
 
Yikes!!! Does anyone know how high off of the water that pier is? Someone watched too much Dukes of Hazard as a kid??:p
 
High water level in lake atm. Driver was running about 20 kmh, bow was up, not on full plane. He was local, knew the pier was there, wanted to dock at a hotel float 100m past the pier. Nav light at end of pier flashes red every 6 sec, no other lighting on pier, lots of background lighting from the waterfront buildings. Guy says he thought he was well off the pier and was "shocked" when they came to a sudden halt. Blew .08 but was not charged.
 
Hiccup! Wash your problem offisher?
 
I think it was just a "knob" on the steering wheel. :)
