I wish I could have taken this 20 minutes sooner when the boat was 45 degrees sideways. He is not the first sailboat to not read the tide charts correctly and get beached. It was a BIG sailboat. If you zoom in you’ll see him at the left/back inspecting the boat. He did get released about 5 hours later and moved to deeper water.
The mountains and buildings in the far background are actually Vancouver Island, across the straight.
At least it was temporary.
I’ve got a niece living on Vancouver Island.
