We talked with Tom in the morning and he said that he had been listening to Coast Guard chatter during the night. The transmissions involved a lost boat at Sea. He wanted to see our pictures of the overturned boat so he could report its location to the Coast Guard since we were unable to. I hope we eventually find out what happened. At this point, since the Coast Guard was involved, he assumes it was likely that there was at least one fatality, probably more. The Coast Guard would not get involved if it was simply a missing boat.
We left Walker Cay around 9AM for Hopetown in the Abaco Islands. The winds were strong and the seas were rough. The wind direction was lousy so I had to tack well off the island chain a good 40 miles to make our destination.
