    A friend from Ft. Lauderdale just sent me the pictures he took of a Casino Boat that slightly grazed two yachts... then came to rest against the Sunrise Blvd. Bridge. (Thanks for the pics Mark!)

    For those of you who don't know this channel... this IS NOT where this yacht should be docked, unless he was loading people from the Sunrise Bridge to his upper deck... :rolleyes:

    Here's a shot of the stern. I'm guessing the current was holding the boat against the bridge??

    Maarten,

    The other yacht was "Confidente", but it really didn't recieve much damage. The Casino boat lost power and drifted by the boats, leaving only a cosmetic scratch on the other boat.

    And yes, you are a correct. The yacht in the picture above is Aurora. You really know your yachts!
