Man Attempts Boating Through Woods

Man Attempts Boating Through Woods

A New Jersey couple was enjoying the night sky near their home on Toms River when a 40-foot high performance boat came crashing onto their property.   The boat had run off the Toms River and smashed into a gazebo before it ended high and dry in their yard.  The home owners said the vessel was “roaring up a storm” with music blaring and the motor still running after the collision.   The boat’s two occupants were uninjured, but quickly left the scene.   Reports state the man operating the vessel was drunk and was later charged by authorities for operating a vessel under the influence.

Tug and Barge ashore

Tug and Barge ashore

A work barge and tug went aground on Lake Michigan in high winds and 8 foot waves near Glencoe, Illinois. The barge had run aground on a shoal some 100 yards offshore. When the tug tried to free the barge, it also ran aground. As both vessels began to take on water, the captain and 2 crewmen onboard were airlifted off by the Coast Guard. The tug was loaded with 3500 gallons of diesel fuel, but no pollution reported at the time.
