Stern dragger
With the cost of fuel and lack of fish.... insurance job?

Supposedly was full of squid. if that was true, wouldn't you wait till after you offloaded to do an insurance sinking?

Depends on how bad in the hole he is and what the price of squid is.
Second sinking? This must be setting off all kinds of alarms at the ins company.

I am sure that there will be drug tests... if any one of the crew fails the tests, the insurance co will say 'sorry for your loss' and be on their way.. drug tests pick up months of drug usage history...

I was there a few days ago and there was a slick of diesel all the way to aunt carrie's beach.. :(

was thinking about the drug thing/alcohol thing too.... i hope everyone is clean or your right, insurance company will only be saying "sorry for your loss"

I am sure that there will be drug tests...

How many had green cards?

I am suprised it's still sitting there. WTF, get it out of there.

Easier said than done. If she's hard aground you'll need a salvage tug with beach gear(anchors and associated rigging)and hydraulic pullers. You only get about 1 Ton of pull for every 1000 Shaft HP using tugboats. Even Clammer steers wide on that corner so never mind getting the lines across.

Insurance must be paying good these days...

the Squid was frozen and in boxes, got there before high mark this AM clean harbor in the foreground there are taking things off as much as they can there were about 25 or so people cleaning the shore line picking up everything it looks good there today was no different than yesterday the wind is still blowing SW the barge is going to come Fri they hope they are going to cut the A frame up
they said the captin was asleep downstairs and the mate was driving @3 am and he fell asleep they have been tested and cleared .

And no radar guard alarm? :lurk:

Just guessing, but with a mate at the helm and a tow so close to shore, the radar alarm would probably have been off. Dragging in the bay puts you in an area with so many pieces of structure and so many land masses, the alarm would be going off all the time.

They must have been tired. Unbelievable.
Or so they say, did anyone see then sleeping?
