A couple more  from our good friend Mike Ryle. Collision happened around 2am if he remembers correctly, Obviously a very scary time and took the crew a little to realize what happened. Mike says it took about 30 minutes before they realized the boat wasn’t sinking. Horrible experience . Send your pictures to sdtunaboats@cox.net
