I heard he was trying 'to wake' a small sailboat and ran too
close to the edge.

Old news to some perhaps but probably not everyone.

A 210 ft coastal cruise ship, the Spirit of Nantucket,
struck a
previously unknown submerged object south of the Pungo
Ferry Bridge
and began taking on water. The captain ran the ship
aground to
prevent sinking. Passengers have been taken off and the
leakage
stabilized. A salvage plan is in progress.

The Atlantic ICW south of Great Bridge, VA is now closed
to all
commercial traffic, and recreational boats drawing more
than 6 ft
until further notice. For them, the only way south is
around Cape
Hatteras and the Outer Banks.
