    Thought it might be fun to post a picture and add what we would presume the skipper said at the moment of truth.

    "Honey, will you check the chart and tell me if marker #16 was floating or fixed?" :eek:

    Here are some photos from Mallorca.
    The last 2 are from the sail boat John Player and the others are from Picante. If i can remember correctly this happened in 2003 after a heavy storm.

    From what I understand, the driver of the boat did not own it, was drunk, and had kids on the boat. He is rumored on St. Maarten to be a former drug runner, who rolled on his "esteemed colleagues" and was relocated to SXM under witness protection.

    Ok, back to the fun & games. I'll go out on a limb and poke fun at myself. Though I wasn't at the wheel, I was right next to it on a north bound ICW trip. Naturally, the wind was howling and their was a moon tide. The whole area was (slightly) covered with water at the time but we were dead center of the channel. I saw a stream coming out from the bank on our port side & told my friend to come slightly over to stbd. Just then......Whammo:eek: That is one hell of a scary feeling! You can see the TowboatUS guy just as ashamed because moments after coming along side, he too was stuck. By the time we got out of there, their were two other stuck sport fishers next to him and several more cruisers waiting about a 1/4 mile away.
