WHY?????

Damn. Good looking boat too. I guesss they lost the anchor. I wonder how this will pan out.
Keep it up,

Only guessing here, Ross. The fire captain said they were on their way back from a cruise to Mexico. I am wondering why the were so close to shore with no sails up. My wife thinks they are inexperienced. Even when I was motoring up the coast last month I had my sails up "just in case".

I'll check the local papers and see if there is anymore news, but I doubt it.

The damn engine can fail any time but the sails will always work if the wind blows and if the wind isn't blowing there won't be a problem.
