Big tug on it finally. It'll pull all night, and for the first time,
it's pointing into the surf. High tide, just after 8 am.

Hope for the best.

Wha? Nuttin there...

Apparently a 90 foot long Tallship went aground on a sand bar just outside
of Channel Islands Harbor south jetty this evening with a load of college
kids aboard.

I understand they have a tug pulling it off, and it is going to survive.
Will need major engine work, as the water came in the chain lockers when it
was layed over.

Unfortunately, as of right now, it's still on the beach.

Frustrating watching, because they aren't doing what I would do, which
by now would to be cut off the masts, strip the hull, and maybe even add
floatation. Try to save the hull.

I hope they make it, but it can't keep up the beating forever. I've
seen heavy rigging tear a beached hull apart before.

This evenings pull, successful

Finally, successs.

I understand it was mostly inside the breakwater. There was a new sandbar
where the boat had normally transited. The major danger was to get into the
rocks.
