Looked like it occurred to the NW of Johnson Reef, just outside the park boundary. Islands in the background are the Hans Lolliks. I couldn't tell if it was a mono or cat. Burned for about 2 hours before sinking. How long does it take for something like this to get marked on charts, if ever? I'm guessing it went down in ~75+ feet, so probably not a hazard to navigation. Attached Files
