The kid made a mistake, and hopefully it will change his life. I don't see much of a difference between this incident and the hundreds of similar cases that happen on NH highways each year. Drunk teenager crashes vehicle. What's new about that!? Many are lucky, many are not. This is an age old problem - especially around graduation season. Its another opportunity for the current crop of kids to see that stupid is as stupid does. It can happen in boats just like it can happen in cars. OK - the forum will get excited for a few days because this almost never happens in boats. Its unusual when a drunk crashes a boat and its different to see pictures of a boat driven 15 feet onto an island rather than a car tumbled over a road enbankment. Hopefully, the kid will be punished in a similar way to those who drunk-crash their cars. Let's be thankful that Darwin was asleep that night. Those three kids could be the honored guests at a coffin planting ceremony today. Instead, they get to live the rest of their lives as a gift.
