The best part of the story is no one was lost or seriously injured; the report that there was a possible power loss indicates the accident was most likely the primary cause of incident; if you can't control the ship, you can't avoid the reef, no matter who you are...; credit should be given to the captain for seeing to the safety of her crew...
