You are right there ... there was certainly no loss of propulsion to be that far up on the rock. A stop that abrupt would very likely cause some injuries aboard. I hope all are well.

It appears he is on the wrong side (starboard side) of the rock heading into the North Sound [color:"red"]if[/color] that is Leverick Bay on the far left of the rock in the background. If that is the case, then autopilot could very well have been involved.

If it wasn't autopilot, it really makes you wonder what on Earth could have happened. Sudden heart attack, a very sudden steering malfunction ... was the captain looking in some other direction and just not paying attention?

What a shame. I feel for the owner. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
