Shirt Tail Reef Strikes Again













Western Entrance to Wasp Passage



















Capt. Deb. Fritz works the BitterEnd aboard Remedy as we back her off the reef.




















Damage to the undercarriage. The strut was leaking as well.

This older 26' Tollycraft found Shirt Tail Reef around noon today. We made it on scene in 12 minutes. It was a short tow back to Friday Harbor for the haul out at Jensen's.

The admonition continues: "Always know where your are."

Remind me to avoid Shirttail Reef. By the way, Richard, any idea what the origin of the name is?

Sorry Tim, I wish I knew. A guess is the long thin nature of the beast.
