Cowes boat accident

[Mr Googler]

Lucky none of them where killed.

Who'd have thought the breakwater would help the war on drugs!

And just behind the breakwater, moored up at the Yacht Haven was a Border Patrol ship!

My chartplotter doesn't show the breakwater either:-|

Really? What charts does it use? Pretty sure the works were on Navionics more or less as soon as they started.

What I'm curious about, which isn't at all clear from the story, is whether the boat was being used to transport a significant quantity of drugs, or whether they had got off their faces on coke (or whatever) and decided to go for a late-night jolly. Only three of the four have been charged with being involved in supplying; surely if it was a smuggling run they all would have been?
