that a sailboat went aground with injuries during Paul, wasn't confirmed, haven't seen anymore info since.

Paul Put Seasilk Aground at Mag Bay
October 26, 2012 – Baja California Sur
Seasilk must be the report we received earlier in the week of a boat having gone aground on Baja. Photo Courtesy Seasilk
Seasilk, the beautiful blue-hulled Hylas 46 owned by Craig Blasingame and Sue Steven of Coronado, was blown ashore at Mag Bay on the Pacific Coast of
southern Baja on the morning of October 16 by the hurricane-force winds of Paul. This according to the boat's website, which explains last week's
reports of an mystery boat having gone ashore in that area.
The couple, veterans of the '10 Ha-Ha, had been enjoying "a fabulous cruise" down the west coast of Baja with crewmembers John and Montyne Connolly,
and Brian Rogers, when they noticed via their weather monitoring that Paul was headed in their direction. Thinking they couldn't make it to Cabo
before the hurricane hit, and deciding not to try to run north of it, they hunkered down at the anchorage south of the Punta Cortes Naval Base on
October 15. They report that cruising guides suggest it's a good spot in which to ride out a storm such as the one that was to hit the following day.
The strong winds began at about 6 a.m. on the 16th, during which time Seasilk was riding to two anchors and using the engine to reduce the strain on
the hooks. "It was like riding a bucking bronco," reported Blasingame of the extremely rough and noisy conditions. At some point one of the anchor
lines fouled in the prop, so they were down to just one anchor, and that wasn't going to cut it in hurricane-force winds. Blasingame had no choice but
try to set a reefed main in a hurricane and tack away from what was apparently a lee shore. As one might expect, the desperation strategy didn't work
for long, and soon the boat was aground. Shortly thereafter she heeled over at a 45-degree angle.
A mayday was issued, and then at 11 a.m. Blasingame instructed the crew to abandon ship. It's not easy getting off a boat in hurricane-force winds,
which create powerful currents. Fortunately, the entire crew made it ashore, albeit with some minor injuries. But talk about good luck, they got
ashore on the grounds of a Mexican Naval Base, with the 34-man and one-woman contingent battened down a short distance away.
"The Mexican Navy has generously offered to host us for as long as it takes to get our boat off the beach," Blasingame wrote at the time. "We have
been given two private rooms with baths in the infirmary, we are provided three hot meals a day in the ward room, and they have provided tools, ropes
and support to prepare the boat. In addition, the Admiral has been in contact with both US consulates in Baja, and with his superior officers in the
Navy. They have helped handle some paperwork as well, since we are not yet officially checked in through Immigration, which makes us illegal aliens in
Mexico. Despite the fact that the Navy base sustained some damage as well, they have been so warm and generous."
Craig stayed with the boat until 5:30 p.m. to make sure she wasn't stripped by occupants of a nearby fishing village. At that time he was assured that
the Navy would guard the boat. Blasingame had good news for the rest of the crew. Other than the rudder's having been broken, the boat appeared to be
in good shape.
The next few days were spent getting gear off the boat and getting ready for the insurance company's October 31 high tide attempt to pull the boat off
and tow her to Cabo San Lucas for repairs. We wish them the best of luck.
Despite the disaster, the owners were still struck by the beauty of Mag Bay and the quality of their crew. "It's astonishingly beautiful here, and we
have enjoyed watching the sun rise, the moon set, and the frigate birds hovering in the sky. We are truly blessed with the crew that we selected for
this trip, as they all performed well as a team, and we are emotionally and spiritually supporting each other, ensuring there is plenty of laughter
and prayer between the chores and uncertainty."
Other than rudder damage, Seasilk reportedly is in otherwise good shape. We wish her crew the best of luck in getting her refloated and cruising
again.

Hindsight is 20/20, of course, but we're sure that more than a few readers will question the advisibility of cruising the Pacific Coast of southern
Baja in mid-October. After all, it's still the middle of the hurricane season in Mexico, and water temps have been particularly warm this year. We're
also a little puzzled by Seasilk's not taking evasive action at the first sign of Paul, which took a number of days on a 600-mile straight-line path
to reach Mag Bay.
But what's done is done, and we wish Craig and Sue the very best in getting Seasilk back in deep water and down to Cabo. If you folks read this and
need anything from San Diego, Profligate isn't leaving until Monday, so there's a decent chance we can bring down anything you might need.

DO NOT FEED THE BEARS!!
That sign is posted at the entrance to every National Park, and underneath it says "Feeding the animals makes them dependent on their food supply"
(49 million Americans on food stamps can't be wrong)
Just wondering how many of you, following this thread, can make the connection....
just wondering????
