I wonder if this was a local or a tourist?

if I'm reading this right, he was going from Road Town to West End and ran aground at Nanny Cay? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

It was dark so in a dinghy he was probably hugging the coast. Might have racked up on the riprap Nanny Cay is laying for the expansion.

As well marked as the reef is between the Anegada Reef Hotel (that should be a hint) and Neptune's treasure, people are always running their dingy aground on it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/titanic.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/drown.gif" alt="" /> Yelling at them from your boat is fruitless because of the sound of their outboard.

Same with the reef at the Last resort but SO satisfying when some drunk bull headed A-H ignores your warning not to cross it racks up his prop on it at midnight. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Devil.gif" alt="" />
