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.

Yup, know all about hurrican Wilma:
She came right over my boat here in Ft. Lauderdale.
I am happy to report no damages, but I take full credit.
(With a bit of luck)
Some of us pay attention to forecast's and prepare accordingly.
The sad part about the boat, the owner and skipper in this thread is that they had the same forecast as the rest of us but choose to ignore it. Then they blamed the USCG for not bailing them out when the sh!t hit the fan.
Kind of hard to feel sorry for those guys: It would only take a small amount of common sense and a small amount of preparation and voila: No multi million dollar damage, no crying stories, no nothing....
