"“We were chatting, laying down, looking at the stars and then got it on,” she said, according to 7News.
A deckhand who had been working on a Crystal Blue luxury yacht admitted to having drunken sex with the captain before it crashed, causing $140,000 in damages.
With no one at the helm or serving as a lookout, the boat hit a navigation beacon and then crashed into a moored yacht before running aground.
The inebriated captain, 46-year-old Jeremy JJ Piggott, attempted to steer the vessel via remote control during the tryst, the court heard.

HighZonieIt is hard to tell from the photos.
I wonder if this vessel was a single screw or a double screw.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

BOATTRASH1All kinds of stupid there, starting with being on the bow, underway, at night and apparently no one else to be on the helm. Lucky they aren’t dead.

LoswsmithWait, so having drunken sex with your deckhand while captaining an expensive luxury yacht while underway at night is a no-no? Hold on, I'm trying to write this all down. This is good stuff to know here, I mean, who knew right?

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

TigerDoreHoney, your job title is DECK-hand.
I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
Cause I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh yeah, I'll try ... to carry on
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me now
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

bigdealMe thinks in all the sweaty hijinx the captain didn't have a hold of the correct remote control joystick.

I'm not familiar with sailor speak. Which is the deck hand, right or left?

architectSo, half the guys are going: "What a dumb ass!"
The rest: "How do I get a job on a boat?"
