BIG POWERBOAT REEF RESCUE

The powerboat Hawk found itself on the reef in Secret Harbor. The reef is marked on the charts and discussed in the guides. I wonder what the driver was using?


Luckily he went aground on a rising tide although there was only inches to go.

We could not get him off an hour before HW.

But at HW the dinghy gang plus a couple of big tenders and some serious bow thruster work by Hawk loosened the grip on the reef and he slid off.

I suspect there was some serious relief felt aboard the powerboat.
