This happened in Mackay, read about it on a yacht forum or something like that, actually I think there was a link from here in another thread about a boat being dropped with some people in it.

Where the boat ran up was the north wall of the harbour entrance, don't know how they did it but they did a bloody good job! I think from memory the boat was worth over a million dollars.

heard some rummor about throttles jamming. But no reason why they still couldnt miss the wall.Oh well another few mil gone scrub

Edleigh7, if you look closely at the top right of the photo, you can see the poor bugger trying to hold on.
