They locked us in the spot. We were about 20 feet from the deep water. The tow guy was awesome, but couldn't pull us out. We had to toss him ropes because he couldn't get to us without bottoming. He told us to wait until high high tide at 12p. More hours of pounding. The sounds were awful...snip
Yikes...A frightening experience for sure. Glad everyone of your crew is ok.
