Someone else here posted that a simple boat but a very seaworthy boat is the

The story of the FP confirms that thinking.

How did they end up on the reef in the first place? Didn't they know they
were in shallow water?

The whole matter is one big confusion to me.

Hi:

My take on things afte reading all the posts and reading the Pig Log.

Skip was sleeping.
Lydia was on watch and drove the boat on the beach.

I really enjoyed Lydia's comment regarding how the pig grounded,
"....somehow we were blown off course...." When the person driving the
boat makes such a comment that should be a clue that the driver needs
"how to stear a boat" lessons.

Even more disturbing is why the owner/manager/skipper of a vessel
would alow soemone with that skill lever beind the wheel....at
nitght..... in never before sailed waters..... bla bla bla !

Nice people.......................... but____________________.
