Re: Buying THIS rotten fisher 46 for refit to cruise high latitudes?

I wonder if this is the same Fisher? Found this post on Facebook.
S/V BARNACLE MAYDAY and rescue in the Yucatan Channel
UPDATE 1652 EST 10 MAR 2021:
Position update at 1000 hrs 10 MAR 2021 22-06.7N / 086-02.2W.
The owner is in contact with the Mexican Navy who will attempt to salvage the vessel weather permitting.
The S/V BARNACLE, a 46' Fisher motorsailor, blue hull, registered in Mobile, AL declared a mayday on Tuesday, 09 MAR 2021 in position 21-41.42N / 085-31.37W in the Yucatan Channel between Cuba and Mexico.

The vessel was enroute North from the Rio Dulce when it began taking on water which their bilge pump could not keep up with. At the point when the engine and transmission were submerged they issued a MAYDAY on their VHF radio which was received by the tanker CHEMSTAR STELLAR who responded to their position and took all three (3) persons on board onto their ship.

The S/V BARNACLE was left adrift, and as of 0630 EST, 10 MAR 2021, the EPIRB from the vessel was still active. The last known position of the EPIRB was 22-00.9N / 085-53.6W.

It is not known whether the vessel sank, or the EPIRB is free floating. All vessels in the Yucatan Channel should keep a sharp lookout for the S/V BARNACLE and report any sightings to the United States Coast Guard Rescue Coordination Center, Miami, FL at telephone number 305-415-6800.
