Anyone know how the 8am Seatran boat (from Thongsala to Bangrak) managed to hit the KPG sandbars and get beached this morning?

It was high tide at the time. My guess is that it was captain's error, but maybe the engine failed and it drifted into shallow waters. Hopefully it hasn't hit the reef.

There won't be a higher tide until next Sunday 1am, so it will be interesting to see if they can tow the boat back to deeper waters in the meantime.

my friend and his boss went to rescue them with their own boat.

story to be published in the samui express :o

They've managed to pull the boat out of the sandbars around 7:30am, but I didn't see it resume service this morning.

BTW, it takes that old tug one full hour to sail from Thongsala to Bangrak.

And it was only last month that the 11am Lomprayah to Maenam came to a full stop 1km out of Thongsala, and passengers had to be rescued then...

Ahhh... where are the Thunderbirds when you need them!

Ah well, life on an island. I am just happy to have so much choice in boat service these days. I do not fondly recall the days when the only boats were that awful Songserm and the night boat.
