I was just informed that the General is stuck on Stev.Cay and that the Mr B is trying to pull her off with a rope 
Pictures are on Facebook but I'm not there so if you can post a picture here for me that would be good. Everyone wearing their life jackets but boy, how the hell did she hit the Cay ????- poor reef

"Just released by the Coast Guard. Car barge still on the reef all passengers off safe. What a day."

This is a good reason to rent your car here on St John. Especially now with 1 boat out of commission during the Christmas rush. What's the waiting time for the next boat?

That's exactly what I was thinking while reading this thread. Luckily, that's the decision we made for this trip. Rachel is booked to get us to Red Hook, and we'll be renting from C&C this trip. Man, I can hardly wait.

My buddy Lori who teaches yoga on island and works in real estate, was on the barge for 3 1/2 hrs and said it was sooooooooo stressful.
Thank goodness they are all off and hopefully the reef can survive.

Inquiring minds want to know!
How could that happen? How many times a day does that captain make that trip? He must know the route like the back of his hand.

Being from Alaska, we always wondered where Joseph Hazelwood ended up working after his job with Exxon.
