A Chilling Reminder to Cruisers

2023.06.28:  A seriously flawed approach to cruising the Chesapeake provided blame to all four parties but especially to Uncle Al and his impatience as two Wayfarers came close to losing their lives after capsizing in a squall off Crisfield, Maryland on Thursday 8 June 2023. Only great good luck and the eagle eyes of a pair of Chesapeake Bay fishermen ended a life-threatening 45-minute immersion in the waters off Crisfield while the distressed mariners were still salvageable. The two unidentified, heroic fishermen thought they saw something odd in the distance, got out their binoculars, and discovered an inverted Wayfarer with Mike Codd and Annelies Groen clinging to it. They reacted in the finest maritime tradition by rushing over to rescue the two sailors and providing blankets until the Coast Guard arrived to take over shortly thereafter. More here.
