Dive Boat Crashes

[luv2fish67]

A charter dive boat crashed here in my area last week.
They ran into a rocky shoreline in thick fog doing 15 knots.
The coast guard was dispatched, but couldn't locate them in the fog. The boat sunk , but luckily they were able to tie it off to a tree so it didn't slip into the depths. Commercial divers went out the next day and got some barrels on her , and it was towed in and hauled out on the travel lift. No customers on board, but the 3 fella's all bit their heads on the windshield and got a little banged up. Apparently it was a GPS problem, but why they were'nt using their radar I don't know. I think the boat will be a write-off, but at least no one was killed. Sorry no pictures, but I'm sure you can all imagine whats left, when fiberglass meets solid rock at 15 knots.

Thankfully everyone is okay...that whole "GPS failure" is everyone's worst nightmare.
