I assume most of the people on here that boat would agree that it hit the point considering hat most boaters refer to the area where the wrecks are the point, not the end of the avenue. Either way it hit where the boats lined up for the races would have been.

Just because it is in the middle of the creek there doesn’t mean it didn’t hit the shoreline along the way.
