Cargo Law is a great website. In another newsgroup I frequent, there's a
poster that lives there. Looking at the photos I was amazed the captain didn't drop the anchors. Mark |

Anchor had been down, but was dragging. Vessels were advised to move, but
by the time she got underway conditions were too strong to steer her through the eye of the wind. She was riding very high, and the propeller did not have enough grip to counter the windage. She was blown backwards over a reef with the rudder hard over keeping her nearly, but not quite, bow to wind. It is almost identical to a grounding about 30 years ago just a few miles north. In that case the skipper tried to 'granny' (turn downwind) but didn't have the room and drove her on to the beach. Half of that vessel is still there. "MWB" wrote in message ...
