Was a sad day on the water.  I was close to where the boat ran into trouble but did not see anything unusual.  There was a lot of traffic in the area with cruise ships, navy and cargo.  Very sad day for us west coasters and everyone involved in sailing.

According to the SPOT track posted on SA, they managed to hit North Coronado Island.
