Sounds like an insurance job to me, except it didn't run into the reef/island like it was supposed to (like aiming your car at a tree and sticking a brick on the accelerator before hopping out).

Fenders are still out because they were so nervous about it that they forgot to bring them back in after leaving the berth.

Maybe I'm just being rude, I hope they find the crew safe and sound.

After reading some of the news articles about this incident, it becomes apparent that the media really doesn't have a clue about boats!
