<snip> Listening on the radio, there's a boat on the beach already.
It's not that bad, so they must have had a foul up with ground tackle.
Don't know any more.<snip>
Three soaking wet hours later... all I can say is 'Oh, it was *that*
boat.' I've checked it out every time I'm in this anchorage, and have
wondered for years when this was going to happen. It was a 36 foot
trawler, with light ground tackle, that hasn't moved in six years. At
least it wasn't a sailboat.
You know the type. Skinny crazy guy with a beard, and a recently
acquired skinny crazy woman on board, and a boat that looks bad from 100
meters away.
Guys like that give Crazy Gringos like me a bad name.
Heck, the Mexican Navy showed up to help, and a half dozen folks got out
of bed to help tow it off the rocks. The captain seemed to think he was
a victim of an Act of Cod (sic) and he deserved all the assistance.
