Glad no one was hurt. I wonder what they hit. Carr Point is right near my condo. I boat by there all the time. I don't think there are any rocks in the area. Water is 40'+ deep unless you're close to shore or in a mooring field. Anybody know anything else?

PS Skip, glad you're still here.

Interesting the way this article is worded, the submerged object is not identified, yet the fact that the boat was traveling at a "high rate of speed" is.

Be interesting to read more details of what happened as the facts are released.

I noticed a lot of Marine Patrol boats with flashing lights near the Marina by the bridge to Long Island on Saturday night It was about 8:00 or 9:00 P.M. on Saturday night, July 17th . Does anyone know why?

Perhaps the reporter could not identify the submerged object, but was informed by the driver that they were going over 90MPH. Are you implying that he was trying to put some sort of slant on such a factual report?

I was out fishing on the dock with my grand kids that night and I didn't see a thing... Anyone else ?
