From the pic taken from the chopper, she appeared to be ridin' low in the water. I guess they must have stopped hand pumping when they knew the CG was going to come for them. If the hulls fill with water, is there enough/any floatation to stay afloat?
If a tow had arrived, it would have been a slow, tedious ride home. Wouldn't the bent rudder have to be removed to tow even a slow speed?
Was this the owner's shakedown cruise on her? He picked the wrong week to attempt that run. I am reminded of the guy who tried to stay aboard his boat during the perfect storm in 1991. That rescue ended up costing one of the rescuer's lives when they ran out of fuel & ditched.
