Yet another rescue
This seems to be the season. There was another rescue off
Massachusetts a few days ago. Here's the fullest report, from the home town of the sailors: http://www.thisisdorset.net/display....from_death.php The Coast Guard took some videos, though you can't see much: http://www.uscgnewengland.com/go/doc/778/137967/ The vessel, La Bella, is only described as a 35 foot sloop. It had been purchased a month before and the new British owner was taking it from New Jersey to Bermuda. The keel was reported as "breaking apart" which sounds like a loose keel bolt, perhaps. The EPIRB which saved them was a last minute addition and was registered only hours before it was used. |
