Re: Big O News (sinking)

From on-site this morning..... we got there a bit late and this was the best I could do on the photos - sure didn't expect to see her listing over HARD and about to go under from ~7nm out!



It was pretty sloppy out there; not unsafe for small craft, but for the guys in mid-20-foot CCs (myself included) it was a wet ride on the way in..... doesn't look it from the pictures - but it was what it was.... on the way back in the wind really started to crank from the west and make for a need to slow down significantly....

The Navo wave model site said it was going to be 2'ish this morning building to 3-4s this afternoon (typical tight chop, and the afternoon was pretty confused too as the earlier wind was out of the NW, then shifted around to more westward) - I'd say they nailed it from the amount of salt I ate..... definitely worth it tho....
