Lots of yelling from others on board to those on the boat who were grabbbig at the dock posts and trying to hold on to them. They ended up across the stern of a large newer unoccupied black & white boat and hit it pretty hard. It took them quite a while to finally get into the slip and everyone on the docks was looking in amazment at this whole event. One woman from the boat even yelled out " Hey everybody: Glad you liked the show". The people from the Thundercraft boat did not seem to concerned that they were the center of attention or that they had hit another boat. After docking they went the wrong way to get to the stairs and were laughing before realizing they had gone the wrong way. They made no attempt that I saw to leave a note on the boat they hit or look for any damage to either boat. We were all just so appalled at what had just happened...everyone of the docks obviously were as well. There was more comments made by someone from the boat and at that point my wife did write down the bow #'s of both boats.
As we were out past Sandy Point the MP came screaming down the bay toward Alton. Wondered if it was for this incident.
We had just come back from getting an ice cream and we saw the MP at the Alton docks around 4:00 PM and they were talking to some people on the dock and filling out a report.

What a rotten way to end the season,,,
