This article explains how the barges were off loaded so I assume they were loaded in China by doing somewhat the same process in reverse.

"In order to carry the barges, a specially designed set of cradles was added to the Blue Marlin. The barges were stacked up and then floated on the ship a few at a time."

The aggressor is Mystere Shadow. Saw it yesterday at its usual berth under the 17th Street Causeway. Not sure on the victim. Maybe a Richmond?

It did not look like the driver had his lanyard attached. If he had the boat would have stopped and prevented further injury to the occupants when he keeled over sideways onto the deck.

And no life jackets, but who wants to spoil an afternoon cruise at 60 mph on the lake by wearing a life jacket and getting monkey stripes!!!

My bad! Milow and Old Phart are are absolutely correct. Adding further to this incident, I recall hearing about this collision prior to the Palm Beach Boat Show, but I *thought* this was a couple years ago? It took place at Rybovich, as I heard. I also heard Tom Gonzales was at the wheel of Allure.

Maybe I'm juggling too much, but didn't Mystere have a black hull too?

The 'aggressor' was "Allure Shadow".

[BEAU]

so does anyone know what the heck happened. Alure shadow looks like it "drifted" into the other boat with no one at the helm, or was he tying his shoe laces?

I d think a control failure is more likely than tying his shoe laces

Couple of months ago I had just left the dock on a 72 footer with pneumatic controls when I lost air pressure... just made it in the channel where I was able to go down, discon the actuator and zip tie the trannies. I can t imagine the feeling on a much bigger boat surrounded by expensive boats!
