"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. Sapier and and Panella were thrown forward at impact, when the sustained their non-life threatening injuries. The Alton Fire Boat responded to a subsequent 911 call and transported everyone to shore. Treasure Island — also known as Redhead Island— is a small island located just east of Sleepers Island."

These boaters "spent several hours trying to find a marina", and were "disoriented" in the dark at 8:15 PM, which is, generously, 2 hours after dark.

This generated less than 15 posts about the accident, and I've not read anywhere anything about the boat or subsequent followups. It sounds innocent enough, but there's nothing more than the original article, which was very weird.
