In Response To: Last observation 04:36.35. The one before that 04:26.54

() I guess I am arithmetically challenged. They were 10 minuets apart. That kinda messes up my observation, doesn't it? Maybe on the rocks just a minuet before it fired and then the SPOT gone 10 minuets later. I'd better get back to the shop, I have a board that I cut too short. I cut it twice and it's still too short.

- Boat lost, 3 dead in Newport to Enseneda race
- More from AP (as distributed by the Washington Post) - Aegian
- Aegian was a Hunter 37
- One report says from the debris, "looks like the boat went through a blender"
- I wonder if there was a 'notice to mariners' posted for the race?
- Maybe an explosion?
- Speculation is frieghter...
- The most comprehensive report I have seen thus far...
- Latest info - SPOT tracker shows them ...
- How could running into an island "shred" a boat such?
- The Spot Slogan: "Live to Tell About It" doesn't ring true.
- So being a Hunter sailing into a rocky cliff, would a Gulfstar or Shannon fared any better?
- a diver could determine the answer
- I believe so.
- Sounding more and more like tillerman-style navigating, to me...
- I thought I read some had done it before...
- Easy thing to do for someone who isn't that familiar with a particular plotter...
- If my reading of a chart is correct
- An observation
- Then there's this report, I witness says she saw the boat run down by a tanker.
- I didn't see any mention of a colission in the text
- Sounds like an Eileen Quinn song
