Hello?
People make mistakes. Qualified or not, things happen. How and why do people here love to overstate their own qualifications, while belittling anyone that has a mishap?
Sailing a few weeks in the summer, and a week or two, each or every other winter, in the world's mellowest waters don't make any of us qualified to judge how someone ended up on the reef.
Look at the incident and learn from it. Anything else is worthless chatter.
Not paying attention and loss of situational awareness are major issues on the water and more so in the air.
