That whole drama had fail written all over it.. Glad no one was hurt, but sad to see a decent little boat get damgaed or destroyed due simply to it's owner/operator being a dumba$$. You have to wonder what the folks on the big yacht were thinking.

That inlet is a clusterfvck, the yacht captain was just trying to get through the inlet to open water. Seeing jet skis and jet boats making uturns in the inlet were the least of his concerns. But if you watch the yacht go by it had a rope tied to the transom, at first I thought it was a tender being towed but I think it was just a dropped/forgotten line.
Taking the boat to shore was crazy, nothing good going to happen there but maybe they thought they would bail out the water. I can't believe the marine patrol was ok with that bad idea, he had to know how that was going to end.
