  • No one died. The person trapped below was able to escape and only spent the night in the hospital for observations. Luckily she had just completed her sailing instructor's certification and was well educated on how to handle the situation.

  • This occurred in the front of our Green TV filming studio and self-sustaining green research center. We are sharing it with the hopes it will bring more people to GreenTV which we fund ourselves. It was nothing less than a miracle all aboard survived. The other miracle is the Heron sunk directly in front of our 3-acre pond (which faces the C&D Canal) and home to some of the largest families of Herons on the Chesapeake Bay. Thank you and our best to you and yours, Lori Lake: GreenTV

  • C & D ?  Chesapeake and Delaware perhaps?

  • I read about this in soundings. glad you and your family are safe.

  • was the collision a failure of responsible seamanship or

    were there extenuating circumstances: fog, storms, etc.???

  • So if one was trapped below, someone died? So sad.
