‘G’ dock is the one the furthest out from the Resort. Typically, the largest boats are moored out there. If this boat sank, it is likely a large one. Not a rowboat for sure.

Hmo, could be a boat that was just passing by the G dock, no?

If it is one of the big yachts moored in G, what sort of catastrophic failure is possible that would have sunk it? Have you ever heard of such a thing?

Spoke >> what sort of catastrophic failure is possible that would have sunk it? Have you ever heard of such a thing?

I don’t think a boat would be passing by. G dock is close ended and not a channel one might be passing thru. All boats take on water and it normally isn’t a problem. If, however, one had its bilge pump running frequently, the battery could be drawn down and render it inoperable. Sometimes, freezing will compromise the integrity of the hull. Don’t think that the case here. Bottom line: Who knows? :~)

Man, I would think if I had that kind of money tied up in a yacht, I’d have some sort of monitoring system on the level of water in the bilge that would alert me or a marine services outfit if the water got too high.

because his roommate is missing, or because he wants someone to share the rent?
