Pontoon Boat Mows Over Marker

The owner of a fish camp in Crescent Beach, Fla., near Jacksonville, caught this intrepid captain clearly paying no attention to what was ahead. Without so much as even backing off the throttle a little, he/she plowed over a bright red channel marker that stands at least 10' (3.05 m) tall. We hope that no one was hurt. It's a good reminder of Rule No. 5 in the U.S. Coast Guard Rules of the Road, Post a Lookout. Click here for more.
