A Dismasting at Sea

By Administrator · On March 2, 2017

On Monday, December 12, 2016 at approximately 7:30 p.m., Molto Bene was located at N 28 53.079, W 69 11.915. That’s about 300 nm southwest of Bermuda. We were about half way to our destination, bound for the Virgin Islands. We had departed Annapolis on Wednesday, December 7, 2016, anticipating arriving in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I., about 10-12 days later, Saturday – Wednesday, December 17-21. The owners, Richard Ewing and Idarae Prothero were below, and the one crewmember, Jeff Carver was on watch in the cockpit. We heard a loud bang and Jeff immediately yelled “Rig down!” Read Part 1 and Read Part 2
