The rocks near Larchmont are all clearly marked on the charts and by
long-established buoys. OTOH, early last week, the owner of an older
J boat long moored off Larchmont evidently decided to go on a late
night sail and to return at comparatively low tide over exactly those
well-known/well-marked rocks, and his boat sank leaving just a portio
nof the mast exposed above water (though it was refloated the
following morning by a SeaTow barge/grappler and two other SeaTow
boats).
