There were just cruising parallel to the floating freen when he drifted over the buoy line that is out in front of the floating freen, he tried to turn away, which caused the cables to get wrapped around the lower unit.  The operator told the deputies that he could not see the buoys because there isn't any lighting around.  He stated, there need to be some lights.  After talking with the operator, the deputies attempted to untangle the vessel.  After several attempts they did get the boat untangled and towed it back to the dock.
