'Dock and Go' locked up the onboard computer and couldn't be overridden

As I understand, the 'Dock & Go' computer system locked up. While the crew was trying to correct the problem the current and wind swept it into the rocks. Apparently when the computer malfunctioned there was no way to steer the boat & no way to go manual. The crew was feverishly working to get some steering but couldn't.

That doesn't make much sense to me but that's the deal at the moment.

I didn't like the boat but loosing a $650,000.00 vessel because of a computer steering failure is just plain nutz.

I see a lawsuit on the horizon and Jon E laughing his ass off. Not funny but at the same time yeah, it is.
