Bummer. Looks like a great research voyage is cut short.

Wouldn't have happened if "Tiny" had been on the watch!!!

Too bad....

Ouch!

What a shame...

Wish I could help out.... My friends say I can fix ANYTHING, and I've done tons of marine repairs. (I was awarded the Eddie Vanetti Memorial award this Jan. by the SOVREN Historic Race group :-).

Give me a few days, some tools, and a few extra hands ! If only.

Sad to get the permits, go all that way, follow the rules of the road, and then get whacked in the hull.

Too bad it wasn't the cruise ship.

Anyone know if this actually happened inside the bay or was it in the channel betweeen Espiritu Santo and the Balandra/Tecolote area?
