LORAN Still Worth The Trouble?

Did they try to cut too close to G'3' ? There has been a remarkable lack of information about this event aside from newspaper references to "uncharted rocks". However, a friend who grew up on Peaks Island (across the channel) told me that his friends heard the impact and it was so loud that they ran down to the beach to see what it was. According to them, the boat was inside G "3". According to the Bluecharts, you should be able to do that but it would be foolish. Damage was on the port side and the boat was headed west. Not shown on either chart is the ledge around the beacon that is nearly dry at low tide. Much of it would be inside the symbol though due to the scale. -- Roger Long |
