What happened or caused the Sunsation to have an issue Friday in Destin?

I'd say that the boat held together pretty well.......or better than the one on Lake Travis. Really glad everybody is somewhat OK.
Windshield looks like somebody may have hit/landed on it. With the wave they took I'm pretty sure there were some people flying around.

Things happen- it is what was done before and after that count.
Lanyards, life vest, other boater helping other boaters out, etc.
I know someone will say too fast for conditions, this that and then other but really waterboy is right- We drive our boats on an ever changing highway- can happen to any one of us at any time. Glad all are well and hope for a speedy recovery..

Drunk posting ????
From a thread on Sunsation's site forum:
John (Niceville) and I were starting our run offshore for the helicopter shots.
Once past the jetty John hit a large wave and went verticle. We were 400' behind them when the came to rest. Within in 1 min we were holding onto their boat waiting for Destin Fire and rescue to show up. John dove the boat back to the Coast Guard station, where they were attended to.
In no way did the boat sink as i had heard latter that weekend, as a matter of fact if it wasn't for the damanaged windshield and cabin hatch, I noticed nothing wrong with the boat. The whole crew remained in the boat the entire time.
