Overturned Boat of Cairns

[just_cruisin]

Was on the way home fromthe reef off Cairns on Sunday arvo and spotted an overturned boat.
After investigation it appeared to be a 'Hooker' of around 6m or so.
Called up Coast Gaurd and was told it had overturned some time during Friday night and was securely fixed to the botom by the coast gaurd.
It looked to be drifting to me:-/
We spotted the boat a couple of mile NW or Vlasoff.
Anyone know the story behind this?

Saw the report on TV monday night I think, was getting hounded by family so didn't hear bugger all but from memory they stood on Arlington till rescued, sort of hard to sink one of those long boats I would think but I also do not know the full story.
