On the way to the owner’s property the operator had trouble finding land marks because it was a dark moonless night. The operator stated he made his way to the vicinity of Beaver Island, where they stopped and used the search light to verify Beaver Island was to the left. At that point the operator thought he knew where they were and accelerated the boat. Shortly after he accelerated the boat he hit the shore and went into the woods. No one sustained injuries and were all able to get out of the boat and walk to the owner’s property.
