The keels are designed to be unbolted and a new one bolted on if the damage was confined to the keels. When the rudders get involved things start to get expensive. Every charter boat I owned has been aground. I was lucky in that none involved damage beyond some reglassing of the keels. This is one reason I never purchased a centerboard cat for the charter market. Groundings get very ugly! G

Did they ever consider putting a buoy east of Skipper Jacob rock and have some reason to rule it out? That would make the person liable if the buoy was destroyed and not put back and someone hit the reef. Anyway almost every charter boat has been totally destroyed in hurricane Irma and Maria and the Moorings has been repairing them and selling them to hundreds of people

Maybe they'll install one now.
Was the cardinal buoy north of Mosquito rock always there, or did they put that up after the MarineMax incident?

I suspect she was moved to the USVI to try and generate some revenue. Repairs might be a bit complicated as the boat can’t go back to the BVI for a month. Still I hope he just needs some glass work on the keels which can be done competently by almost any shipyard. Is that the exit criteria? You have to stay in the USVI for a month?

it might be....
Wes's boat is named for the Clemson (Tigers) college in South Carolina...
Their arch rival and my sons alma mater is the University of South Carolina college (Gamecocks)....
every time we go in the islands we always see "Sea Tiger" decked out in the Clemson orange...much to my sons chagrin
I hope you are well Sleepy Chef and look forward to getting to the Wonky Dog soon Ballau, We have taken many Gamecocks out to sea on Sea Tiger..., We even brought some of them back in from sea. Seriously, we have enjoyed the recognition from many regarding Sea Tiger, often from other college fans and alumni (Georgia, Tenn, Alabama, Ohio State) just to name a few. They are passionate about their teams as are we, and they frequently take photographs and send to THEIR friends who are Clemson fans. And perhaps we should add badminton racket on board so that we can swat Gamecocks!

A few years ago we chartered Celtic Tide from TMM. While we were docked at Leverick another sailor wandered over and asked where we were from. He was from Alabama, where "Tide" only means one thing. Dan
