Chuck... i hope this post is ok....
This is indeed extremely tragic..
After I saw Chuck's initial post, I checked the other lists I belong to, in
the hope for finding out more about this tragedy.
I can't add info on circumstances, but I can relay some more background info
about Skip and Lydia with a quote from the Liveaboard list.
--begin quote---
"Skip and Lydia are folks who many here may have followed on their
upgrade to their Morgan, FLYING PIG.
They went aground at midnite on the 6th.
Skip and Lydia aboard Flying Pig are safe, but it is a tragedy nonetheless
after just leaving on their long planned retirement cruise from FT
Meyers heading to the Keys.
They had signed off on the 4th.
They were lifted off the boat by the Coast Guard at Content Key after
going aground and the ship is now on its side"
"Its tragic about Flying Pig that they could plan for years and
upgrade for the last year only to end the journey within 48 hours of
taking off.....
His web pages are referenced at the bottom with tons of pictures
showing much of their good work on the boat over the last year
