I guess my Saturday night was not as exciting as yours, since I was probably up earlier, reading the paper. Nice photos in the paper edition, but also an on-line story version with narration and photos: http://alt.coxnewsweb.com/palmbeachp...cent/marooned/

PS For those that don't realize it, Hurricane Wilma, which caused the grounding of this yacht, is the strogest hurricane on record, with the lowest barometric pressure ever recorded in a storm. It lost a bit of punch as she came across the gulf (after dealing with Legacy), but hit us folks here in South Florida as a strong cat-2. We had more damage here than from hurricanes Frances and Jeanne the year before.
