In spite of what they told you, it is almost certainly an error on the part of your marina that caused the problem. Nonetheless, the pending debit will drop off automatically. Banks vary on the length of the timer, but they all have to have an automatic trigger to kill the pending item, due to the fact that so many of them are never matched up with a real item. This can be because the real item was never processed, (your case), or because the real item came in for a different amount. (like a restaurant check, with a tip added). The time varies between 1 and 5 days generally. Ten days seems unrealistic, I'd want to verify that. You might try going into your branch and sitting with a live person and showing them what happened, they are much more likely to help you.
