I just witnessed a barge (not sure if it was full of sand or empty) run aground in Cofresi ... then a few minutes later, one of the two tugboats that had been trying to pull the barge in lost engine power and ran aground right next to the barge.
The Ocean World Marina folks went out and offered a hand to the folks that had run aground, brought them to shore and made sure nobody was hurt.
After listening to everything on the radio, the panic of the captain as they ran aground I'm a little shocked - this paradise of ours can turn into our own personal hell so quickly.
I'm not sure how long the boats will be sitting on the reef out there but if you are within driving distance of Cofresi, it's quite a site!
Stay well,
Amy
