So ?

Let's hear the real story...Looks like a sailors' boat, and the temporary covering looks seamanlike for a quick job; there must be more to this.

American Couple from Seattle

The guys name is Jodd Teanyus - he was down for a coffee, and when he came back up it was to late to avoid collission with the 240 meter tanker (no, they were not under spinnaker :))
Luckily they're both well (and so is their cat).
There'll be an investigation, so don't blame anyone :) Although he is being quoted for admitting being down checking the charts and having a coffee..
