The "Breaker Breaker" would have been a lot more a problem if they'd missed the Island reef. That wouldn't have had a lagoon behind it -- only the north end light near "Albatross Island".

"Le Baron Rossin" also noted this little shark pound and sailor trap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albin_Roussin Those damn French too. :^)) Next it will be the Arabs that someone cites here. :^)))

Let's smile a little about it and not make too much of it. No one was hurt while some professional yachtsmen were racing around world for fun, a little money, and lost opportunity at glory (this time anyway).
