"Distant Drummer went on the breakwater during the first blow of the winter season 2 weeks ago. She broke loose from a coast guard mooring buoy off the Patricia bay B.C. station. The buoy was marked as a holding area for boats to be destroyed."
"I believe her deck was rotten in many areas. The stem head fitting had pulled off the bow leaving the rig without a forestay. Pitching at the mooring was causing the mast to whip mightily. I am waiting for daytime low tides to have a look."
"My Dad built Distant Drummer in 1976. It was our first cold molded hull. I live next door to the Coast guard station and have been too close to this whole thing".
