Over loaded with booze, butts, lips,, certainly not enough to total one brain. Frak, sharks and crabs have to eat too... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-sinks-Miami-women-rookie-maritime-error.html Well that crew just lost their jobs..
Smells like a charter… if that’s the case the captain and owner is going to have to answer some questions… and the insurance isn’t going to cover.
In Miami now. Tied up at the Venetian waiting on family. Even on a Sunday there were many“charter” ops going on here just like I have seen at Miami Beach Marina. Slip neighbor put 13 and 2 crew on a 48 Sea Ray last night for about a 4 hour cruise. Not for me but plenty of it going on. I don’t care much for Miami but maybe it’s me not liking big cities.
I dunno about this being a charter: 30 bikini girls doing tequila shots would ride for free on my boat.
Agree, not an overload or a high center of gravity issue.. The usual suspects were probably at play, a hose or hose clamp could have failed or an engine water pump, lots of possible scenarios.. (A friend of mine on a 44’ sailboat in Biscayne Bay called a mayday requesting rescue as the bilge was full of water and sloshing over the floor boards, turned out his 400 gallon fresh water tank had let go and he never tasted the water for Salt OR Fresh. No doubt on the bikini yacht however)
