As I understand, she was intentionally grounded after taking on water. Assuming the hull is still in good shape that should not be a terribly dificult salvage job. Meanwhile somebody has to fill in the supply gap to Anegada. With the new places and increased marketing this is set to be a record year for Anegada. A lack of supplies would put a serious crimp in that plan.

Glad no one was injured for sure. Also hope the Lobster Fest set for later this month is still on!!!!

Frank, thanks for the update last night. Good to see you at Leverick. We're likely headed over today. But, we are being pretty lazy this morning.
Cheers, RickG

Where is it grounded? One of the beaches and if so where. We will be there in a week and am curious of it whereabouts.
Darn guess we are going to have to live on Lobster.

I can see the top of the vessel, Isabelle 5, from the anchorage. She is outside of the channel to the south of the last red buoy before the green/red buoy.. We spoke with Desne at Wonky Dog and she said that Husky towing was out Saturday to have a look. We haven't seen any salvage work Sunday or Monday morning. Here's a photo I took on the way in yesterday: http://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hpho...amp;oe=56C3264F [img]http://scontent-atl3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/12208759_10104127333532368_7475326499536150871_n.jpg?oh=dedae9cb80031087d35ea2a7454af21e&oe=56C3264F[/img] Cheers, RickG
