"Guiding Light" on the rocks

[David Baird]

Dear friends, some very bad news I'm afraid.

"Guiding Light" (1936 12 ton Gauntlet cutter) ended up on the reef in
the Virgin Islands at the end of last month. It's still unclear how
much damage she sustained after 2 days on the reef, but she's
certainly not a total loss. However, owner Roy Boughton is now in a
difficult financial situation, having spent his reserves in the
salvage operation to get her off the reef.

You can follow the story of Roy's adventures with Guiding Light on his
blog at http://yachtguidinglight.blogspot.com/

He has also just now set up a Facebook page to keep people up to date
on her situation - http://www.facebook.com/YachtGuidingLight

Regards,
Dave.
