Ouch!
I remember that shoal from years back when I was crewing the Prince of
Wales race -- in light winds every boat was trying to cut the corner
headed out of the harbor.
Looking over the side into the clear water (I was working the mast) I
was saw boulders sliding past the boat. When I raised the alarm the
captain slammed the boat over to head for deeper water, just then
another large boat (maybe 40') crashed, lifted up out of the water, did
a pirouette atop a rock and slid back down the far side facing the
opposite direction.
It was crazy seeing a boat that big pop up out of the water!
I never knew the name of the shoal, but after searching Thrumcap it
clearly was.
Hope the damage is not too severe!

Dunno. Yet. Hauling the boat Tuesday. I was way north if the red marker. Just
not paying attention.

Yes, ignoring that big red buoy can have its consequences.
I've seen one boat cut through there but it was a Bayfield 29, very shallow
draft.
I hope the damage isn't too expensive to fix.

Thrumcap. Not the first to do it but no excuse. Dumb.

Good day to be rich. I just bounced my boat off a shoal near here and
trashed the rudder. But I'm merely Rich:(....
