Captain getting some from deckhand crashes mm$ yacht into another yacht
Charter captain left the helm for a drunken sex romp with a deckhand. Can we say the captain smashing the deckhand was the cause?
The irony is the deckhand has since been promoted!

It said "Southport Magistrates Court was told how the unmanned boat then collided with a channel marker and a moored yacht as Mr Piggot (Captain) attempted to steer the vessel using a remote control"........He obviously had hold of the wrong "Joystick".

Doing the nasty on the bridge of the BC Ferry Queen of the North cost two passengers their lives roughly 16 years ago now. The ferry was heading south coming out of the Grenville Channel and failed to make the necessary course adjustment to avoid plowing into the end of Gil Island. The navigator ended up as a guest of the province for 4 years although given the state of Canadian "justice" that likely amounted to significantly less time actually eating prison food. We went through the Grenville Channel several times and it was always eerie thinking about that ferry lying under us on the bottom of the sound and the two bodies that were never found.

Captain is an idiot! He was the one in charge and he is at fault, not sure why the focus is on the deckhand?
The court was told an inebriated Mr Piggott had attempted to steer the boat via remote control while the pair were intimate, and had deliberately lowered the boat's mast to ensure a mounted CCTV camera did not record the pair's activities at the front of the boat.
Earlier this year, the captain pleaded guilty to two counts of recklessly contravening his duty and was fined $4,000 and given a two-year good behaviour bond.
