RedactedNarrative: On 11-15-2012 a 25 foot twin cabin cruiser was returning to the Rockhold Creek Harbor at night.  Despite being in a speed zone, the boat was on plane.  It smashed into one of the two rock jetties at the entrance causing major structural damage and injury to the operator (head lacerations) and one passenger (leg laceration and possible hypothermia).   The operator and one passenger were admitted to the hospital for treatment.  The two passengers with possible injury refused tratement.  
   
   The operator stated he had been into the inlet at least 30 times at night and "did not know how he could have missed the channel" (which is well marked by a lighted green channel marker.)  Charges are pending but will likely be negligent operation, exceeding the speed zone, and failure to keep a proper lookout.  Some beer had been consumed by the operator that day but he did not appear impaired.
