I would not dive there. The current rips through there. We anchored there once at slack tide. I had to dive on the anchor and drive the tip of the anchor though the cement hard scoured bottom. When the tide came in I surfed the anchor chain a while and was doubtfull of getting back to the boat with fins on if I got far from the boat.

Yes Paypal.... He posted his email which is attached to his account.

Not sure why you posted you won't do the same! I too very recently had a tragedy with my boat, It's only money which can easily be replaced, everything else CANNOT be.

Hey. Check your PayPal. Santa stuck a little beer money in your stocking. Good luck and keep us posted!!

Well stated. I was not aware of this when I suggested diving the anchor. Do NOT dive the anchor area if this is the case, at least not without knowledgeable local help and on a slack tide. Better to lose the boat and not know about the anchor, than lose your life!

svGenesis, I'm sure GoingWalkabout means to say, "I want to do the same." Not "I won't to...".

Thanks again everyone.

Dagny was spotted tonight December 23rd at 5:30pm, reported by the USCG, at 27-03.7N 79-16.1W. 24hrs after drifting off.

I am trying to map it right now but my connection is bad right now...

BTW I got medication. Taking it one day at a time.

Gil.

Thanks. Sorry. I did mean want to. I'm sitting in bed with a hugely painful ruptured shoulder ligament. Apart from being bombed out on pain meds I'm doing one finger typing. Sorry. I'll have to sign up for PayPal I think.

Hope you feel better soon!

As far as I know, you don't need an account with PP if you use your credit card.

Great news, we are praying for you and your vessel :-). Just post if you run into anymore obstacles and need help finding resources for retrieval.

LLCoolDave · 23-12-2015, 18:39

So relieved to hear you found Dagny. What a nightmare!!! Hope you get her back soon.

Muckle Flugga · 23-12-2015, 18:52

Well, the news is progress and at least relieves your uncertainty. I am not sure it is "great" though as it may well be very hard to recover.

I did just try to send a little Xmas gift via Paypal but it tried to force me to sign up and I have run up against that in the past. Does anyone know a way to do it without being coerced into making an account? I can't see a clear way myself.
