The article says that Roberts said he was navigating by instruments. What
makes
you think is was alcohol and not an error, mistake, bad-navigation skills,
or stupidity?

Oh I guess the fact that being intoxicated leads to error, mistake,
bad navigation skills and stupidity.

FWIW, I have been through that inlet at least a hundred times in a
little Whaler (among other boats) and never relied upon any
"instruments", other than my eyes.

I have never heard of anyone else using "instruments" to nav Ponce
either.

It is simply absurd.
