Here's a couple of pics of the accident, for those who haven't yet dug into the link I provided earlier. To summarize, the Baja slammed into and over the O'Day 27 from an angle of around 160 degrees behind the bow on her starboard quarter. To give you an idea of the speed of the Baja we know this------that after hitting the coach roof of Beats Working, it re-entered the water on port,
missing the port lifelines completely. Most estimates from witnesses point to a speed in excess of 40 knots................
I'd like to reiterate to you that though I am new here, I am not a Pollyanna nor a whine a$$....just a guy that's spent his life on the water, enjoys sailing in the tropics with his wife and kids....and has a very big aversion to those that we entrust with power but who abuse it, such as Sheriff Perdock and his little team have.
Thanx again for your time,
RB
