Obviously not that simple. In perspective the boats on this island generally travel less than 30 miles an hour. How fast do you drive your car at night? Tranquility Bay Resort and Sueno Del Mar are 12 miles north of San Pedro, at 5 miles an hour that turns the half hour ride into two and a half hours.

This was a tragic accident and hopefully we can figure out what really happened so that it is not repeated. The two boat captains are both good captains and good at their jobs. Both Captains are experienced and mature. I have never witnessed either company involved running a boat after dusk without lights. Cesar Scott applied for a job here at Tranquility Bay Resort and was a well spoken respectable man. Our Condolences go out to his family and friends as well as the other individuals injured in the accident.
