Omatako is on a distinguished road
Indonesia, momentary lapse of concentration, shallow reef, dead calm water, motored onto the reef and got stuck with the keel amongst the rocks. The tide turned into a flood tide that pushed me further and further into the reef and when it turned the boat was left in about three feet of water on the rocks. Within 12 hours it was a total loss.

Nobody wants to do that twice. I know I don't!!
