A few years ago, local private boat anchored in ship channel under the San
Rafael Bridge. Smaller tanker hit the tower fenders avoiding running down
idiot private boater. Coast Guard made the private boat liable for damage
to the bridge fenders and any repairs to the tanker. Do not know if he had
enough money, or is now broke!
