gerisullivanRIP HMS Bounty.
Bounty sank off the coast of North Carolina overnight. The crew donned survival suits and boarded her life boats in a timely manner. The Coast Guard sent out rescue helicopters.
Doug posted to Facebook that he's okay a few minutes ago. I don't know for sure he was on board; further details welcome. Right now, I'm relieved he's okay, and hope the same is true of the entire Bounty crew.
Bounty going down is the last news in the world I expected to be posting today. Yes, there's a huge hurricane out there. Yes, she's a ship that regularly sails these waters. But my head just hadn't gone there, not at all.
She was a fine, fine ship. A beauty.

athenais sent me a text with an additional info based on what Doug posted on Facebook a few minutes ago. "He is at the USCG station in Elizabeth City, NC. 2 still unaccounted for. They swam free as the ship was sinking and got into the life rafts."
My prayers are with the entire crew.
