In Stuart, an unmanned boat was spotted at speeds of 30mph. Jeremy Glass says the boat was coming straight towards theirs when they noticed the incoming boat did not have anyone on board. They began to follow the boat to make sure it wouldn't injure anyone. The boat ended up hitting rocks and flew a few feet in the air and almost cleared it to the other side. Jeremy and his friends went to the other side of the rock jetty and jumped into the water. They climbed up onto the boat and turned the smoking motor off. It was a freak accident and luckily nobody was hurt.
Now this is seriously scary. I used to live on the water and I usually went out for a quick boat ride almost every weekend. Imagine seeing a boat with no people on it just coasting and heading for shore; what would you do? I think Jeremy and his friends did the right thing by following it until it crashed. Attempting to jump on the boat would have been risky and probably fatal. I hope people watch the video to learn on ways they could prevent things like this or any other type of accident on the water.
