Things are looking dim

We had a bit of an increase in the Trades recently, causing larger easterly swells, and the grounded C&C 27 has been rotated and shifted a bit. She's lying noticeably deeper in the water, too. It appears that she's been moved off the shallowest part of the reef into deeper water.

Still no go-ahead for salvage from the Receiver of Wrecks, so chances for salvage are dim at this point. I noticed that though the boat and owner are from Dominica, it's flying the flag of Antigua and Barbuda. Curious...
