GL: USCG Auxilliary boat hits/sinks speedboat

[Bob Kunath]

Fascinating clip, shows some real stupidity.  Who's at fault?
I guess the legal answer probably is both
-Small boat was the "stand-on" vessel (he can see the green port light
on th CG Aux vessel).
-CG Aux was the "give-way" vessel.
-BUT - Stand-on vessel may change course to avoid collision (Rule 17
Colregs), and the small boat's operator says he never saw the CG
vessel, meaning he "failed to maintain adequate watch (Rule 5)."

Aside from all that, when and where did this happen?
-McKinley Marina is mentioned. I can find no other McKinley other than
Milwaukee's using Google search.
-Celebration Tour Boat - I can find none using Google.  Is this the
boat that used to sail from Racine?  I have never seen it in Racine,
so it has not been there since at least 1991.  There used to be (and may
still be) a dinner cruise boat in Molwauke that looked somehing like
the one in the video.
-Hard to see in the video, but the runaboout looks very old, the engine
has the square profile of one of the Chryslers from decades ago.
-The registration sticker on the small boat may be Wisconsin.
-The sunglasses on the witnesses look like the 1980's styles.

Does anyone remember this accident?
