He beat me

I once wrote about things not to do on a cruise ship.  This guy beat me.

From ABC.

A California man will be buoyed to a jail cell for the next two months after he pleaded guilty to drunkenly dropping a cruise ship’s anchor while it was sailing from Mexico to Florida.

Rick Ehlert, 45, of Thousand Oaks, Calif., was ordered to spend four months in incarceration —two in jail and two in home confinement, followed by three years of probation. He will also have to pay a $7,500 fine and attend substance abuse counseling.

Ehlert dropped the stern anchor of the MS Ryndam as it was traveling in international waters in the early morning hours of Nov. 27, 2010. Shortly after dropping anchor, he also deployed a life buoy. Ehlert admitted to being drunk at the time, according to court documents.
