How did he get on the rocks? He still had all his sail covers on so did not
do much to avoid disaster.

Seemed like nothing much was being done after the fact either... no tow
line, nothing.

I may be wrong but to me it looked as if they got some good way going
and ripped off the keel with the towboat when the tow line parted.
Then they try to turn her around and just put her side ways to be
smashed to smitherines.

Nice job.... if the goal was complete loss.

Why didn't they lighten the boat up?

What were all those people doing loading up the boat
with more weight on deck? Stupid fools! There must
have been a dozen of them. Probably at least a ton of
excess weight on the boat--right there. That would drop
the waterline more than an inch.

If they offloaded everything on the boat, and waited for
a spring tide, they might have been able to save it.
