Does anyone know if it was the north or the south entrance?

My cruising guides and charts indicate that the north entrance is subject to
shoaling and should be avoided. I'm curious which entrance they were making
for.



South or G East entrance, depending on your point of view.
Sad part is, that in watching, their was a point where the bow was close
to being on the breakwater, that the wind, current, whatever, turned the
boat so that it was pointing to sea.
Considering the boats movement, if there had been someone still aboard
and the engine was still operational, they may have been able to power
her off.
Shortly after this point, the boat turned further to port and beached
port side too.
Presently there are divers in attendance, rigging a tow line with the
hopes of pulling her off in the morning.
All day the wind has been SE 20-30k (not good) and it's obvious she is
silting in ..... hope they make it, but I'm not optimistic.
