Love Capt Ron. Watched it on every boat we've had as part of the christening.

"I've had problems with the tides before"...!

So much for "if it's going to happen it's going to happen out there".

Kinda in shore to be thinking it was out there...

It looks like they got caught in a kink and it spun them around into the marina. Glad we don't park there given the commercial traffic.

Yep, tons of great throwaway lines there...

"We hit this reef. Huge sonofabitch, ran the whole coast."

"Wait,.. the Great Barrier Reef?"

"You've heard of it, huh? Smart lady."

From the comments (just relaying): MSN news reports this as having happened in Norway: "The carrier ship Cyprus Cement was trying to squeeze into Levanger marina when things got away from the captain (and the tugboat guiding him in), and a collision turned three moored boats into a sinking accordion and damaged several others. The 5,000-ton Cyprus Cement was reportedly waylaid by a failed thruster in its propulsion system, though an investigation is ongoing. No one was hurt.


Oh well, ship happens!

"You shouldn't take such long showers there boss, you'll use up all the fresh water"

"A diesel like it's oil like a sailor loves his rum"

"No, No, we're OK, I know we're near land,,, Now try and follow me here,, see, when we left for San Juan we had just enough fuel to get there, and well, we are now Out of Fuel"

"Keep it down but, Truth be told boss, I've had these troubles with the tides before"

"You tell the General tough Crap,,,Cough it Up"

"Captain Ron" is one of my favorite movies of all times. A true classic,,, in my eyes at least.

Incentives are important. Learned that in rehab.
