Based on it pointed bow in, it does not look like it was drifting. Drifters flaot beam to sea.

Someone asleep at helm? Or no one.

Betcha the blades on the prop are ALL bent too.

Happy everyone is safe but looks like autopilot and someone went to sleep.

I heard about a distress call when they were still a mile out... Let's not jump to conclusions yet.

Re: Commercial Fishing Boat Aground on Pt Pl Beach
 

That's even worse a mayday call a mile off shore. ... drop the hook.

Maybe it was sinking and he intentionally beached it?

We shall see.

One this is for sure.. they are not fishing today.

everything was working good navigation steering the problem was:the beach got in the way

Re: Commercial Fishing Boat Aground on Pt Pl Beach
 

Maybe it was the Blue line tile fish boat from North Carolina and he had so much fish he sank:rolleyes:

Re: Commercial Fishing Boat Aground on Pt Pl Beach
 

glad they are safe , and no oil slick to clean up , and not in bow first to the jetty , but wth caused it ?? tis the question

Re: Commercial Fishing Boat Aground on Pt Pl Beach
 

Must be single screw- twins would allow for steering if rudder froze

I was having dinner with the Family on Sunday at Martell's
same boat hull color and configuration 400 yards off the beach.

only one of 3 vessels out that evening about 7pm

I was wondering what the heck he was doing. I think its the same
boat. Must like being close to shore! Little too close today!
