While approaching the entrance to Charleston, South Carolina, a cruising sailboat collided with a large, red channel marker buoy.▶ 5:22 The crew was distracted by a phone call with a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent regarding missing clearance paperwork from a previous port.▶ 2:38 The collision occurred while the vessel was under autopilot at approximately 6 to 7 knots.▶ 8:30 Post-incident inspection revealed only minor cosmetic damage to the hull coating, confirming the structural integrity of the boat.▶ 8:34 The crew later determined the buoy was positioned roughly 300 feet from its charted location.▶ 7:05 Following the collision, the crew met with the CBP agent in Charleston to resolve the documentation dispute.▶ 9:01 Despite providing evidence that the administrative errors stemmed from unresponsive government offices and incorrect official information, the agent issued a formal warning, noting that a future infraction could result in a $5,000 fine.▶ 10:45 The crew subsequently navigated the Charleston area, noting strong currents and eddies in narrow passages that required full engine power to maintain control.▶ 15:44 They observed that navigating against a strong current provided better vessel control than running with the tide.▶ 15:44
