Sailboat Stuck On Reef

A sailboat is grounded on the reef outside San Pedro tonight.

Around 11:00 last night - the 35 footer named Ramblynn captained by Canadian Glenn Peter ran unto the reef in an area known as the Tranqulity Channel. This is off northern Ambergris Caye close to Tranquility Bay.

This morning at 9:00 the Coast Guard responded and rescued the captain and took him to San Pedro.

But his vessel remains grounded on the reef and the Coast Guard informed all the relevant agencies of the grounding. They must now determine how to move it - and what charges - if any - to bring.

The vessel was coming from Mahahual and was heading to Rio Dulce, Guatemala.
