Trying to get a hold of Brian, my buddy, I fish with offshore, was sent this pic this morning by a friend. I know Brian spent the weekend in Port A and I'm pretty damn sure this is his boat. Pic taken this morning.

Hope no one was hurt.
The boat can be fixed most likely.

Hopefully he ran aground while creeping and can get her at high tide.

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation

Maybe someone stole the boat that didn't know how to run the electronics? I can see where it's possible for boats to run into one another, but an object that isn't moving should be almost impossible to run into with the electronics we have available today. Hopefully if your buddy was driving he isn't hurt besides his ego. Damn that would suck.
Life is good live it while you can.

Can't tell if it's up on the jetty or just looks that way because pic was taken from a distance.
Hoping it's not up on the jetty. Wouldn't want to be the one pulling it off.

Hopefully he ran aground while creeping and can get her at high tide. the tide only varies here about one foot. He had to have been moving pretty good to put it that high up on the rocks.

That happens a lot around here. Unlit navigational hazard are hard to see especially if you’re just getting up on plane. Hope your buddy is good - when that boats stops motion, the passengers don’t.

Hope your buddy is ok Cousin boats in a tidal river. Said this guy was roaring around in a cigarette boat like he owned the place. Told me he thought to himself that guy must know where hes going. Nope. He said on the way back to the boat launch guys boat was on a sandbar and was an hour or so from being completely out of the water.

Damn Rog, sorry to hear this It ain't like the location of those rock jetties was a mystery, just so folks know they are a fixture at Port A, about a mile long, and people fish off them all the time, I've had school groups on 'em for years. They were put in in 1919, been there forever.. Rog, now all ya can do is wait until the story comes out.

well I just talk to him, he's alright except for sounding pretty depressed. He's on his bus there in port A, said they're trying to see if it could be pulled off, the worse case might have to use a barge with a crane.
