I don't think the boat was "left" in the water overnight....it seems like it was pulled out right away. I don't have any first hand knowledge, but my guess is the owner probably called to get it recovered / towed out.

NOPE,

I was told: Owner made no contact the night of the accident, it was "seized" under investigation through the water patrol and "tow company" took and has possession at this point.

If that’s true, was a dive team involved to search for the occupants of the boat? If so, that’s fu*ked up.

That was my first thought. What a waste of resources.

Based on the news reports the following day on local radio, and piecing together comments from both forums, I don’t believe any search was conducted. Sounds like the communications between the person in the water and the person on the shore turned it into just a boat retrieval operation.

I think this depends on your stature in society and your level of wealth. The guy who grounded his AT sure made the oso news, but this guy who seemingly evaded a BWI the expensive way will avoid any chatter.

there must be more to this......if the operator was impaired then he has no right to keep this private many of us do not drink and boat and do not respect those who do..... or did it have a joe Biden wrap with flags flying? maybe a hot Russian spy was aboard with bill Clinton?

Really? The story could be good advice on how to avoid legal repercussions for making poor personal decisions.

Glad no one was seriously injured. Seems like an expensive lesson to learn. I can’t imagine insurance covering this loss, given the circumstances.
