I know it is spring up there, and it has been a while since you have driven a boat, but what the heck happened here?
Do you think alcohol was involved or just stupidity? LOL. At least they made it to shore safely. Watch out for those sand bars boys and girls ;).

One GOOD thing about abandoning ship on the St. Croix is you won’t get eaten before you make it to shore.
You might freeze to death but you won’t get eaten.

Ain’t that the truth 🙂
Looks pretty deep there. Maybe they had a broken pet-cock and the pumps could not handle the influx of water. I don’t recognize the marina? We have not been out on the river yet. Maybe next weekend. Take care.
