Jon 360 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Sobering read We can all learn from this Complacency was probably their biggest mistake, but after 17 years it’s easy to see how this can and does happen There are always what it’s in these situations Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 374 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Seems to be in pretty good shape, and floating on her lines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AJ Oliver 154 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The USCG does not charge, but they usually try to turn your boat over to a private towing company if they can . . This is from 2014, but I think is still operative. https://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2014/06/boat_talk_2.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMT 68 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Who owns it now? The original owners or the insurance company? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raz88 96 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Seems to be in pretty good shape, and floating on her lines. I saw a Facebook post from someone saying they had spoken to the coastguard crew that recovered her and they had pumped her out before towing her in, so may well have been floating differently before that happened.

smithy09 50 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Really happy for them that they got it back. Pretty tough to start again at 70. That was a hard account to read! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
