Ladies and gentelmen, we have a winner. Ken Worthing, of Seattle, won our first-ever Docking Game high score contest this week, posting a score in the millions and netting himself the prize: a HawkEye hand-held depth sounder by Norcross Marine.

Ken's score – a whopping 3,709,640 – stood atop the All Time high score list when the contest ended yesterday, as the highest score posted according to contest rules. His victory came after a week of intense action that drew more than 1,800 individual players. Shockingly, Ken's score has already been beat! But Ken is our rightful winner.

Mad Mariner has formed a partnership with BoatU.S., the nation’s largest association of recreational boaters, that will help both organizations increase their online services and resources.

The Docking Game, Mad Mariner's addicting web-based video game, has a new system for high scores that allows players all over the world to compete against each other – so let the games begin!

Who likes The Docking Game? Chesapeake Bay Magazine does. The April edition features a front-of-the-book item on our little game, saying that it "has all the appeal of a horror movie."
