Insert excuse here for the non-coverage....Actually, I'll blame the Port, (who said they'd notify neighboring boat-peoples when the un-glug-glug-glug process was to occur.) Never heard a peep, but talked to another marina feller yesterday who said my fingermate's once again a floater. He didn't have any more details.

There was at-least one positive thing that happened as a result of the sinking; gorge sailors shared war stories with photos included. Here's a Moore 24 doozy from last year.

Thats the best wipeout shot ever.
I used to work with big boats in Portland and sinkings were common place when you forget to close the thru hull fittings. They go down quick with a two inch hole in the bottom.

that looks like a lot of wind to have a spinnaker up in
