There's a pic in the Sun Sentinel.......looks like it was a catamaran with outboards.
SFDH?
 
Just heard about this. Hope everyone is ok :-(
 
Thanks, Fritz . . . . you need to keep clicking the links, as they update. So sad.
 
Yes...confirmed that it was the Coral Princess and there has been 1 fatality.
 
Tough day for trying maneuver the Princess through the Hillsboro Inlet. I wonder if the release forms will hold up?

I was kayaking in the intracoastal near the inlet and saw them tow the Coral Princess back into Hillsboro Bay. Then I followed Seatow to see what they were going to do with the upsidedown 45' Corinthian Catamaran. I saw the captain and mate at the BSO dock but couldn't talk to them. A sad Thanksgiving day on the water.

I am sorry to hear this and most particularly that there was a death. Very sad for everybody.

This inlet is known for large standing waves and often hazardous conditions for small craft even in otherwise generally benign conditions. Is it considered a navigable inlet by the CG? That is a large boat, must have been a big wave, they said a rogue wave, is that so?

I wish the best for all involved.
