Yikes :shock: - that's painfull to watch. Someone wasn't using their radar or GPS. Let's just hope it wasn't a medical problem that led to this.

Two things that stand out in that article are the time and high speed.

Yeah, but 9pm in August isn't dark yet. It's getting there, but he should have been able to see just fine.

...if he hit the west break water on the inside, he may have been in the channel returning to his marina headed north at high speed and hit the break water at an angle. if he had hit it at a right angle his bow would look worse...
it looks like the channel gently turns right and he may hve drifted out to the left just north of nun "4" or abeam nun "6".

You do have a point. I guess I'm getting grumpy again. This weather is killing me!

On August 12th sunset would have been around 7:50 PM. An hour later it would be getting pretty dark.

(It always kills me how fast the days grow shorter just when I'm finally getting relaxed with Summer!)

I guess the location makes a bigger difference than I realized. Here, that time of year, it would definitely still be light out.

August 12, 2006 Sunset:

Seattle: 8:28pm

Providence: 7:51pm
