Coast Guard Station Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Conducts Boarding

MIAMI - A boat crew from Coast Guard Station Fort Lauderdale, Fla., conducts a nighttime boarding on a vessel that was speeding through Port Everglades Inlet on the first day of National Boating Safety Week. The National Boating Safety Week campaign, which this year runs from Saturday through May 25, is designed to help reduce boating fatalities and accidents by generating an awareness of operator and passenger behavior on the water and to encourage boaters to take personal responsibility for their own safety and the safety of their passengers

Sounds like the skipper is pleading ignorance. I hate ignorant boaters, especially PWC operators.

PWCs are the worst when you have a big vessel in a small channel, and for some reason they think they own it and can cruise through them. Or jumping your wake.
