According to a Marine Patrol report, the two were were in a boat being piloted by Robin Pyburn, 50, of Alton, that was attempting to return to the West Alton Marina. Those onboard apparently became disoriented in the dark and spent several hours trying to find the marina. At about 8:15 p.m., the boat traveled inside a buoy and became grounded on the rocks it hit.
I'm always confused by articles written like this. They became disoriented in the dark and spent "several hours" before crashing at 8:15 p.m.?

I know it gets dark earlier now, but geez.
