Runaway Boat Causes Chaos in St. Mary's River | Watch (msn.com)
Okay, here you are watching a scenario such as this, what is the best course of action?
I say, if the area is isolated and the boat is not likely to hit anything or anyone, best to just let it be until it runs out of gas. I really don't see a safe way to intervene. The one intervention I would possibly be tempted to try if the boat was a danger would be to attempt to foul the prop with a lenght of line. Attempting to board the boat to gain control just seems like a fools errand. Any other bright ideas?
