The only trouble I see with your story, Skippy, is there are NO ROCKs at
Sprigger Bank and that's where you were aground, wasn't it?

Nope.

Pay attention :{)) You were around during that period, right? You
saw all
the traffic of the time, right (2-7/2-20-07, or thereabouts, if you
wish to
look at the archives...

Off Content Key. Here's the very specific Lat/Long:

24*47.910'N/081*280855'W, give or take a few thousandths of a minute.
Note
the 1/2' of water on the chart, jumping from 15-17' to nothing in a
few
feet...

You could look it up - and see the pix in our gallery, for that
matter,
courtesy of the Coast Guard, who did a training exercise during the
extraction (go to the "aloft-adventure begins" sub gallery)...

Then click on the subgallery "crash landing - chapter 1" the first 4
pix of
which are from the helo, taken about 2 hours after low tide. Note the
forward port corner of the solar panels where there's no longer a wind
generator :{))

Love from Skip and crew, still wondering when you're going to come
whip our
asses in your banana boat...
