A sad day - at least they are all safe.


Looks like a reasonable day to me. Conditions what those in the PNW
would call "lumpy.... snotty" but certainly not a threat to life nor
vessel.

Guess all that "Im the best damn sailor in the GOM" serves as another
example of just how most people on yachts lack even the most
fundamental skills to operate their boats.

42' steel boat??? DId you see teh size of thoes picture windows on the
center cockpit condo?? NOt exactly what Id call a proper cargo boat.

My 2 cents is the thing was loaded to the gills with coffee (5 tons??)
wallowed, and that HUGE center condo got slapped a good one. Hell, the
tv footage shows sombody standing just aft of the condo port side.

This event goes logged right next to Skip n Lydias dream chase.
