Yes, he had a
chartplotter on the boat, but the boat lost most of the electrical power due to a bad battery.... and he was using a very beat up paper chart under less than optimal
lighting.
It was pretty much high tide, and he went through a pretty low area of the breakwater.

Did he have a CP?

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
