was under the impression that George C Scott, his wife (who suffered
a broken
leg) and the Captain were aboard.
I was not aware of the large # of children.
Actually, we are talking about at least three different incidents here,
and they are getting mixed up. All three did occur but at different
times. For the most part the individual details are correct. The event
with the school children did not involve the Mojo as I have been
correctly reminded
off List. But it was a similar situation and the Captain did die and the
boat, about 50' (I forget the name) was completely flipped over, bow over
stern, going up the face of the wave and was destroyed and reduced to
kindling as it washed up on the Corps of Engineers stone breakwater.
Just
goes to show that the Morro Bay entrance can be treacherous and any
prudent sailor should contact the local Coast Guard on 16 before entering
or
leaving. That's what I do. The Coast Guard is more than happy to help
and pleased that someone is thinking of them.
Don't the gift shops
along
the bay have copies of the series of photos for sale?
I have seen them for sale there on occasion.
