BOOM in Christiansted  

Maybe a transformer blew.

that could be. we looked out and didnt see anything, no smoke . and it was much louder and too early in the morning for it to be the ship.

There were two loud BOOMS around 10-11pm last night during lowtide that originated about halfway from Buck Island when a large sailboat hit the reef near the channel markers and flipped on it's side.

Wow...what a bummer that must have been for the boater.

The boat did not flip over on its side. A Sea Tow boat helped keep it upright until high tide this morning at which time the boat was freed.

wow, i hope the people are okay

That's great to hear! From the shore directly in front of where it happened (and when it happened -- i was the schmuck shining the spotlight from shore when the speedboat went past...), it looked like the boat was on its side.
