We had just pulled in and secured the lines, hugs all around when a huge wake from a mega yacht hit us. Seayeti in front of us started moving all over, up and down, back and forth and we were doing the same. It was like watching two bucking broncos without riders. We hit and we hit again. Our bow pulpit hit Seayeti's dinghy davits and propane bottle. We punctured the propane bottle and fortunately it did not explode, instead it went into the water leaking.
Fortunately no one was injured. I can't say the same for the boats. We have to have a new pulpit manufactured and we needed a new anchor platform. The damage looks just like when we were first hit in San Pedro, Belize almost 5 years ago.
The Guatemalan Navy actually was in the restaurant and saw the boat and the damage caused by the wake. Jim and Marco and 2 of the Navy guys took me over to talk to the owner. He has said that he will take responsibility....we will see
All in all we can get it fixed and we have all our digits. I do wish it hadn't happened though....
