Let's see, this makes about our tenth major grounding in as many years, and our third this year alone. I have finally discovered the problem- it seems that the islands are made of magnetic rock. Every boat that has grounded was made of ferrous metals. Not one single wooden boat has grounded. I rest my case.

Once again, this wasn't a case of just hitting some random rock or reef out in the middle of the water- this was hitting an actual island. Let's just hope it dropped off my car parts BEFORE it did this.
