Thanks mate! Thats really nice of you. Yea I guess the key is to learn from mistakes! Thanks for your support!

Thanks your support Rob, yea it was pretty hectic as I reckon they probably had another few minutes before the waves threw the boat on its side on the rocks. Definitely something to beware of out there!

Cheers guys! Yea was preeetty sketchy. Glad everyone got off safe. Gutted they had to walk away from their floating home though! Thanks for the comment! 😎

Yea hopefully something we never have to go through again !

my guess is inattention otherwise they would have taken down their sails and called out on the radio sooner.

Yea I don’t want to point fingers cause we are only human but I personally think it was just that they set a course and didn’t take into account leeway/ current as it was almost like traversing a river on this day. Didn’t want to ask to many questions though as I felt bad enough for them as it was! I don’t believe it was anything mechanical. Still feel so gutted for them!

Luckily at the stern there was just enough water to do a quick turn on my tender. So I threw a rope to them. Then circled in and tried to time it in between when the waves werent thrashing the boat around. It was lucky just how the boat lay. If there was a big rock at the stern they would have had to jump and swim which would have been very dangerous… quite lucky really..
