Looks like it was calm water conditions too.

According to the CG press release, the accident occured at 0515. This
time of year it is still pitch dark in these latitudes.


Conversations recorded near the boat and just released today:

Transcript:

0516: Husband talking to wife: "What do you mean you did not renew the
boat insurance policy!"

0517: Husband on the cell phone: "Hello, Boat/US, do you insure boats that
our out of the water?"

I really hope the boat ran aground at high tide and the photo was taken
at low tide. If not, this seems physically impossible.

High tide on Thursday in B'ham Bay was 7.7 feet at 0415. At 0515 the
tide was still 7.4 feet, and by 1000 it was down to -0.2 en route to
-1.0 at 1123. There was probably 6 feet, and maybe as much as 8 feet
additional depth at the time of the grounding compared with the water
level visible in the photo taken well after sunrise.
