Well anything is possible, hard to believe the captain hit the reef intentionally, something obviously went very wrong. Need to investigate the prop story.

ok, so the captain knew he was coming to AC, but no one told him about, or he didn't notice, the enormous reef in front of him? ok, maybe a rope did get tangled. but when they freed the rope, they didn't remove the anchor either?

does anyone else know for sure: i heard the last yacht (the one yrs ago) to 'accidentally' moor on the reef, causing damage, was never fined nor cited - he just left. anyone know if there's any truth to that?

duplicate posting: see "rich & stupid".

It's not the first time:

You're right papa maybe I was a bit harsh.

How about "Intelligent, fully competent and highly skilled yacht captain grinds multi-million dollar ship into a world herritage ecologic reef during a severe clear weather day then corrects his "bad day" mistake by intangling rope in the propellers and dropping anchor on this precious resource"

Now......that's is much better!

Thanks papa for reminding me what a jerk I am.

Now, about bow thrusters...................

Another reason we should have a port authority office here in A/C

Actually what is needed is a proper mooring, set up in an appropriate location to avoid this type of accident. Possibly even a large marina. Since this is a port of entry. I doubt this problem will ever go away.

No, no sweetjane, papashine pointed out the error of my ways. I've decided to change my title to this:
