Default Re: 3-420 HP YANMARS!

a friend of mine salvaged that boat, the Captain ran into the south Jetty coming into Charleston Harbour, he got the call around 10 PM, boat had been stuck on the Jetties and all were rescued by the CG. No one secured the boat, by the time he got a salvage barge and work boat out there it was 4 AM, the tide swept the boat off the rocks and it was floating bow verticle right in the middle of the shipping channel, after they finnally got a line on it, the Pilot Ship came through the channel telling them they had to move, they were escorting a big contaciner ship coming in, The Pilot hadn't even noticed the boat floating bow up till they pointed it out. Needless to saw, the container ship was delayed a little. By the way, teh boat is at the old SHip Yard in N. CHrleston, not Goose Creek
