SSL671 ~ Stuck on a REEF with NO MOTOR

SSL671 ~ Stuck on a REEF with NO MOTOR

Today we see just how quickly things can go wrong, even in just a 30-knot squall if your anchor is not adequate for your boat, or not set properly. The boat instantly ended up on the reef behind him, and then his subsequent attempts to motor off of the reef resulted in his propellor exploding into 3 pieces and falling to the sea floor under the boat… not good! At the same time, we also get to see just how quickly the cruising community springs to action to help a sailor in trouble. The result was favorable, and everyone came out unscathed for the most part.. thanks to all who participated on that day!
Cheers,
Captain Rick, Maddy, Ricci, and Tiki
