I cannot express how sick I feel over the sinking if the dive boat off the channel islands. We lived in Oxnard this past year, next to Channel Islands harbor, and the dive/fishing community there is strong & very committed to safety in their industry, from what we saw.
The likely loss of 33 adventurous, nature-loving people in one awful tragedy is beyond comprehension. Sending prayers of healing and peace to everyone affected & all of the Oxnard/Hueneme/Channel Islands communities today. Their loss is beyond my imagination.
A special set of prayers & love to the Coast Guard, @VCFD, and military support who tried to save the ship & passengers. CI Harbor, Mugu, Oxnard & Hueneme are chock-full of heroes and first responders - for these folks, this is especially crushing. Thank you for what you do.
@VCFD (Also, still praying for a miracle & hoping there are survivors who made it to shore or a buoy - or anything.)
