I saw a Facebook post today regarding a 2017 450 Lagoon running aground on a reef off of Great Camanoe this weekend. Someone posted that the owner was on board. Pictures showed the entire starboard hull ripped out. Very sad. I can't help but wonder how this happened. Not sure if it was in the "no-go" zone or just in the vicinity. Looked like it was floated with air bags and towed into Nanny Cay I think. Tragic.

NO ONE SHOULD EVER GO BETWEEN CAMANOE AND BEEF ISLAND EVER. This is the single highest marine loss area in the entire BVI. Over and over and over again. Go between Little Camanoe and Great Camanoe. Miss the rock at the top by LIttle Camanoe.

I see boats do it all the time despite virtually every charter company briefing it as off limits.

You’re right on, it’s even a bit deceiving with a chart, it even over took Johnson Reef off of St John which used to be the villain for charter boats out of the USVI going to the BVI.

The first time I sailed from the BVI to STJ 20 years ago Johnson Reef was on my mind the whole way. Chartplotters were rudimentary then so we were going the old fashioned way - paper and binoculars. I can't imagine someone hitting that reef but I know it has happened recently. I believe even by a commercial captain.
