Didn't see the rest of your post until now. We had a somewhat similar
experience with a guy on a Beneteau. His trottle somehow dropped into gear
while he was charging bats on a mooring, but all he did was sit there and
wonder why his boat was moving, sailing in circles faster and faster on
the mooring line. Finally, I and another boat noticed. They had their dink
ready to go and boarded the Bene and shut it down. Then, the guy came up
out of the cabin wondering what was happening.

We always see some amazing feats of stupidity there. Like the guy and his
crew who couldn't figure out how to grab a mooring line, so he backed down
on the line and wrapped it on his propshaft. Or the German group who came
into Road Town Harbor in the raw, posing for the myriad cameras. (none were
photo-worthy). Or the clown who didn't understand that the boat already on
the mooring probably didn't want to share it with him. Or the kids who
didn't watch where they're driving the dink, and ran into a cat on the hook
at around 20mph. I could go on.

That's entertainment!
