Barge/ship anchored in Sand Bay

Post by kbs2020 »

Does anyone know about the barge or freighter that has been anchored all night in Sand Bay? It’s still there.
Gale force winds all night long.
Sure was a rough night sleeping for me.
Imagine being on that vessel!
Call me if you know anything?

It is the composite-tug barge Prentis Brown. They probably had a peaceful night as they are anchored in the protection of the island; the wind is west and northwest so they are protected from the waves.

Thanks. Tina just sent the app for Marine tracking. Good to have that.
