  Subjects departed St Augustine Florida mid morning and were enroute to Fernandina Beach. The weather was fair, so they decided to make an off-shore run to St Mary's inlet. At approximatly 1400 hours they lost the DC power on their vessel due to a short circuit on a wire. Without DC power they had no navigation capability and were limited to cell phone for communications. When DC power was lost, the windless malfunctioned and deployed their anchor. Without the capability of using the windlass they were unable to retrieve the anchor, which was on 300 foot of chain. They called Tow Boat US and at 1900 they arrived on scene to assist. 
  
  In the course of waiting for Tow Boat to arrive, the weather began to deteriorate and the seas were picking up, eventually reaching 5-7 foot. They eventually were able to disconnect the chain from the boat and let it go overboard. As night set-on they attempted to follow the tow-boat to the Mayport Jetties and into the St Johns River Inlet.

  At 0200 they neared the South Jetty that protects the St John's River Inlet. The seas were in excess of 7 feet and they lost sight of the boat they were following. Operator was not far enough to the East and wound up striking the South Jetty. He immediately realized his mistake and backed up and moved further east to make into the inlet. As they entered the inlet they lost power on both motors and the wind, current and wave action pushed the boat into the north jetty. 
  
  Operator stated that it took about five minutes for the boat to literally disentegrate on the rocks. They were able to use a cell phone to call 911 and notify the Coast Guard of the situation. When the boat sunk subjects went into the water and were carried by the current outside the jetties. The Coast Guard arrived on the scene, located and rescued them from the water.
