I hope it wasnt that gorgeous classic ketch that left here a couple days ago...what was the boat like that hit the rocks? Do you know the name of it?
that will be a knarly tow especially in this nasty NE wind we are experiencing today...it must have blown 30 knots around 3-4 in the morning and is
still around 25 knots at the moment....fishing trips OFF for the day.
Will you be inviting the Trimaran family over for Christmas dinner?

Wow; that is just crazy.
They will not be the last even with today's high-tech equipment marking the reef end to end. Depending on how the the swell and wind are working the
waves break from weird directions.
How a skipper navigator can't stay 3-5 miles away from that danger is beyond me. Maybe it's a sailing thing.
Ever time I'm working that reef I get a little pucker going because I don't know it like the locals that zip in and out all the time. I would stay 5
miles away from it in the dark just in case something goes wrong.

One of our Baja Boyz foundered there a couple years back
Well photo reported here by Shari and our group
They were lucky to make it to Abreojos
But the lovely teak sailer was a total loss

She made a big deal out of it when she went back to Kangarooland
TV. Lots of sympathy
I say put it out on the street and let it go to a useful cause
She ended up with my favorite hoody. Long gone
