    Maybe not the craziest but Most expensive


    The Grounding of the Eldia
    On March 29th of 1984 the 471-foot Maltese freighter "Eldia" rode high in the waters off the coast of Massachusetts having just unloaded her cargo of sugar in Canada. As she steamed south to her next port of Norfolk,VA, the Eldia encountered a fierce storm packing over 75 knot winds generating 30 foot seas. The empty ship was no match for this oncoming fury and was driven aground on Nauset Beach, Cape Cod.

    How about a guy who goes through a channel and forgets about a sandbar. This guy that got rescued was propelled from his boat like a cannonball when they hit the bar. Crazy. Thank God that other guy was there to save them.

    There is a doofus right now outside the manasquan inlet and about 50' from the rocks. The tide is coming in and it looks like he could crash if hes not careful. Why would a guy do that in rough seas?

    Thanks for the link HOB. He just left there. I was watching him and at one point he was about 30 feet away. What kind of knowledge does it take to get a Captains license anyway?

    This has to be up there as one of the most scary. With the gopro you get a birds eye view.
