"Even so, the driver of the powerboat, law enforcement, was ALSO drunk."

That's not what the article says...

Its in another article about the incident but I'm sure that detail has magically fallen off the record.

The reality of it is, excessive speed at night, ie: breaking the rules of the road in the first place.

Could they, if running at an appropriate speed, avoided colliding with the sailboat? Most likely. Could they have also run down an unlit aid to navigation in the dark like that? Most likely. It still doesn't take away from the fact that they were at a wreckless speed.

Sure, hit the sailor with being over (the old) alcohol limit, but don't blame him for SOMEONE ELSE hitting them doing OVER 40MPH IN THE DARK.

This would be like blaming a drunk person walking down the street with being run down by a drunk driver.
