That's terrible! I hope everyone is OK.... This incident will make me think twice about making the run to Catalina alone.

All are ok, let me tell you, the ride over to see what happened knowing my son was on that boat was gut wrenching to say the least. We saw the boat fully engulfed and didn't know where my son or freinds were. My wife broke down
I will not post pics. There are others out there and I know they will come out, but not from me. It is just way different when loved ones are involved.
I had a sinking feeling in my stomach .... SYO, the Tiger and myself were running together, when I circled back to check up on SYO I saw the column of smoke. I knew there were no buildings where I saw smoke and I knew some of my good friends were in that area. The three of us sat in the middle of the channel for awhile and then the Tiger made a recon run to the scene only to confirm it was one of the Hot Boat crew ... very sobering

That is very bad news, sorry to read about the incident. From what I am reading eberyone made it off the boat and will be ok.
We saw the smoke and headed straight for it. Scared the crap out of me when we first got there because we couldn't see anyone on board or around the boat. Then we checked with the other boats and talked to the owner, found out everone was okay and what happened. Very helpless feeling just watching it burn and you couldn't do anything about it. Fire boat eventually arrived and put the fire out. We split so I don't know what happened after that.
I just deleted the photo of the boat out of respect for Gary. I'm glad you are okay and very sorry about the boat.
If you want to see photos they are on the link above.
we all made it back to davis . as bad as it was no one was hurt. gary left with five on board and returned with five . thats all that counts.
