Another boat misses the approach to Barnegat Inlet...

The weather was pretty poor around here late Saturday night, as a large cold front moved across the area...

What this guy was thinking, attempting to enter Barnegat a 0200 that night, at dead low tide with a strong ebb running, and precisely at the time the entire Jersey coast was being swept by thunderstorms, heavy rain, gusty winds, is difficult to fathom...

Looks like he was coming from the north, and attempted to cut the corner close to the end of the submerged North jetty... Definitely the wrong thing to do at Barnegat, though he would certainly not be the first to do so...
