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. |

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. otn |
