Cape Jellison's small boat shot a line a boat stranded on a Mexican beach.. I think
this is the boat that when told to tie the line to something secure, ran the
line though the hatch in the bow and wrapped the end around the toilet. When the
Jellison started to tow the boat from the beach, the nylon line stretched like
an elastic band. As the line became tighter and stretched more and more, the
toilet ripped loose, tore through the deck and shot into the air. The people
later sued because the Coast Guard damaged their boat. (Don't think they won) |
