Just saw your post from a few days ago. We are the ones who heard the guy's distress call (we were on our dock fishing) and my husband boated over to check it out. It was a white male about 45-50 who had obviously been drinking. Apparently drove straight into the cliffs and the boat went a good ways up (hull debris about 12 feet up the cliff) and then came back down into the water. He was apparently thrown out but climbed back in his boat. He was soaking wet and slumped over not moving when my husband arrived. We called 911. My husband stayed with him until help arrived. We checked on him and he was released later that night from the hospital so a very lucky guy. Nice boat. It would have completely sunk but my husband and one of the firefighter guys towed it to our place and we secured it on a ramp. Somebody came and got it the next day.
