Please follow it there. From the article: “Human history is a miserable river of blood, and all our ancestors bathed in it. We will never erase the sins of the past. All we can do now is move forward and decide what we will and will not tolerate today and in the future.” This is very true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Powick Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 Re The Boat Ashore. TOW BOAT USA is a very reputable firm and I even had a policy with them if something went wrong with my boat while I was in US waters. I find it hard to believe that the crews thought they would get that boat off the shore in that weather. That vessel running gear would be so buried in that sand and would be acting like two anchors, (twin egines), and considering the weight of the boat and pounding surf, and attempting to turn the boat broadside while in the sand would be a futile exercise. I guess they thought connecting the tow line to the bow would allow them to pivot the boat and drag it off the shore and of course the line snapped. Had they had a chain and had the power in the tow boat, the chain would have probably pulled the bow apart ...there was no way that boat, at that weight was going to move off the shore with a tow line connected to the bow, in that kind of weather. Will be a gigantic insurance claim and I bet all the running gear will have to be replaced. Obviously we don't know when and where they had complete engine failure but rule #1...... when you lose all steering control is to DROP THE ANCHOR...

A comment from another site: 'From the crew, they said the fire system went off unexpectedly, most likely an error in the system due to ruff seas. When the system goes off, it shuts down both mains and generator. The anchor is hydraulic with no easy access manual override.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree......My anchor chain windlass is direct to battery with 80 amp breaker. Ready for "free-fall" in 30 seconds. From the crew, they said the fire system went off unexpectedly, most likely an error in the system due to ruff seas. When the system goes off, it shuts down both mains and generator. Wow, must be advanced technology. My fire suppression system is like an aircraft.....Have to pull a T-Handle to activate the supression system....non-electric...all mechanical.
