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.

I don't suppose THESE sailors made any comments about shooting at
jetskiiers with guns and missles.....like I've seen in the past on these
newsgroups.....(c;

Hypothermia might have been a problem without those "damned jetskiiers" so
quickly on the scene.....

I certainly would not refer to idiots who would run aground like
those jerks did, 'sailors'. Sails were furled said the article.

They were motoring - just another motorboat - take it to
rec.boats please.

Complain to the the person who originally cross-posted.

I was there when the incident happened along with several other members of
the Citizen's Auxiliary Police. As one of the first on the scene, I can say
with great authority, you didn't miss the mark on this one Capt. Neal.

There are only three types of sailors in the world, those who have been
aground, those who dont sail very often and those who lie

I would reduce that to two: those who have been aground and those who
lie.

Three... those who will be aground.
