funniest thing I've seen in a while

bad taste- darwins theory in action methinks. 1 step short of a darwin award.

if he was obeying the rules and doing 5 knots within 100m of land then he'd be fine!!

 

from personal experience there are plenty of lights in that area.

Was thinking the same. Other than the idjit possibility I thought maybe a broken throttle?

The entrance to GH is fine at night. In addition to the red & green at the end of the breakwater right at the entrance itself, there is a pair of red & green posts a few 100m S of the entrance which act as a leading line. Hardly anyone uses them and most people cut the corner (as this guy did) and certainly at that angle you are not gonna see the red & green nicely set up as you'd expect them. Sure there is some light 'noise' from the marina in the background but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 2 sets of red & greens guiding you in. Unless for some reason one (or more) were extinguished - in which case that would be a mitigating factor.

Yes in addition to the r&g poles a few 100m S of the entrance and then the entrance itself with r&g on the breakwaters, there is a 3rd source of assistance in the form of a leading light to help you maintain your line in the centre of the fairway as you come into the breakwater. Lots of assistance if you know how to read lights.
