But the boat's not really in the water. :-) It's on the rocks. It could also

Photo taken earlier today) Looks like it was calm water conditions too. richforman According to the CG press release, the accident occured at 0515. This time of year it is still pitch dark in these latitudes. Considering, however, that the boat in question was undoubtedly equipped with radar, gps, a plotter and forward scanning sonar......in addition to the obvious "if all else fails check the buoys and beacons......." it's surprising that they misjudged the channel in the dark. Looks like they only missed it by 10 feet, maybe less at a higher tide, but 10 feet is 10 feet too many. Porbably a combination of darkness, overconfidence (I"ve been through here 100 times!"), and maybe fatigue as they were heading back in. Cripes....I have a 14' yacht, but I still have one of those big-ass search lights. Comes in handy at least 2-3 times each season. |

This time of year it is still pitch dark in these latitudes. Conversations recorded near the boat and just released today: Transcript: 0516: Husband talking to wife: "What do you mean you did not renew the boat insurance policy!" 0517: Husband on the cell phone: "Hello, Boat/US, do you insure boats that our out of the water?" |

Dan High tide on Thursday in B'ham Bay was 7.7 feet at 0415. At 0515 the tide was still 7.4 feet, and by 1000 it was down to -0.2 en route to -1.0 at 1123. There was probably 6 feet, and maybe as much as 8 feet additional depth at the time of the grounding compared with the water level visible in the photo taken well after sunrise. |
