Boat Sank off Cutty
 

Heard the report over the radio, 4 in the water, all recovered safely by a nearby private vessel. Coast Guard on scene 20 min or so after the call.

Seems like they might have had a run in with Sow and Pigs given that the recovering vessel initially reported concerns about water depth preventing them from reaching the people in the water

I went by there yesterday and it always gets my respect.

Looks like it was a 47’.... damn!

After seeing this it peaked my intrest in an epirb. Device for the boat more like the personal size then I saw a comment on the cost of a rescue if needed. And a suggestion to get a Rescue Response Insurance Plan..


Any ideas what such a rescue would cost? The salvage part and environmental part aside?

I only heard the CG side of the vhf conversation... there were quite a few incidents going on yesterday. Sundays always brings out the noobs

Wind was def above what they predicted and anyone who knows, knows that corner of cutty is a death sentence if you don’t know what your doing. I’m inland quite a ways and today’s winds have been close to 10 mph above what was stated

This is what has me pondering my decision to sneak out tomorrow morning during the forecasted lull...

My brother in-law is one of them older boat no working nav lights no vhf no chart plotter limited experience. But he feels if he only goes local he's fine .. i try to educate him but not having much luck.. but I'll keep trying

Gift him a hand held vhf.

But also in his defense, cellphones are actually more helpful if you are dry in your boat than a vhf. And if he only goes hour during gentleman’s hours, nav lights are not needed.

Its just he is a 1st responder. And would complain about how others put themselves in bad spots needing rescue.. or not wearing a seatbelt. I am Trying to find him a chart plotter or headheld gps
