There was a 390MY hard on the rocks with the current going west at 13:00 today. Tow Boat US had a stern line on her and not even budging. It needed to be pulled up current to get off the rocks. Twin 250HP outboards vs. a 27,000 MY taking on water? You could see her actually up high and listing. There were at least 4 Coast Guard boats standing by with lights flashing. I can't believe the Tow Boat was able to get to her and not ground itself. That is going to be some insurance claim.

Mark - were you on Lake Washington today for Seafair? I'm sure I saw Lina Lina today - either on the lake or at Elliott Bay Marina.

Tough area if you do not follow your charts and/or understand that red right return may not apply coming from buzzards bay/canal.......I hear stories like this every year and it is not only from sailboats, powerboats, but mega yachts

I went thru Woods Hole yesterday at around 12:15PM. I must have just missed that from happening. It was really busy going thru....a lot of traffic.
That is a tough area if you don't follow the charts and markers exactly.
