This sailboat, the Gypsy Woman, owned by Rick of Brace Point, just south of the Fauntleroy ferry dock, broke its buoy anchor and drifted aground early this morning. No one was aboard when she broke her anchor. Rick is waiting for high tide at 7:00 pm to get her back in the water. My sister in law Jeanne James, my granddaughter, Mikki Haury and I walked the beach to get this picture around 2:00 this afternoon.
We went out around 7 pm to see if we could spot the re-launching effort – didn’t see anything – so I don’t have any firsthand info on that, unfortunately … TR
Re-launching effort was successful around 6:30 high tide yesterday evening.
Just thought you guys would like to know..
Watched it sail off to the north as I watched from my condo balcony.
Take care…. Jeanne James
is it floating yet?
My boat was in a similar situation a couple years ago. ouch it hurts.
What a great shot of that sailboat !! Nice photography Alice Haury.
Glad to hear everything turned out alright for Rick.
Captain Rick here..indeed everything turned out well with the help of my friendly Brace Point neighbors. No damage to the boat and I even had a chance to clean some barnacles off the hull. Thanks everyone! Who wants to go sailing?
Sorry, comment time is over.
