Attention all Misty Pilots:
The commercial fishing boat the 'Black Pig' has come into difficulties. It's captain has reported on an emergency handheld radio that all electrical power has been lost, which includes the engine. The fault has been identified as a blown PCB. The owners wife has brought a replacement into the Sitka office.
The captain last reported he was drifting towards one of the small islands north of Steamboat Bay (ICAO code WSB). It was his intendion to drift close to one in order to provide shelter and to then put down anchor. Unfortunately the batteries in the handheld gave in before we could get an exact position.
Take a float plane and the replacement PCB from Sitka and travel to Steamboat Bay, head north and try and find the Black Pig. Land and give the PCB to the crew to effect repairs.

I've placed a few objects in the general location, it's up to you to find them. It's not compulsary to join in, it's just a bit of fun. If you do want to help find them then you'll require this BGL file which you'll have to put in your Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Addon Scenery\scenery folder. This is FSX only I'm afraid.

Nothing to do if you find them, just take a screen shot of them and post it here. No prize for the first and just because someone finds them doesn't mean the search is off. Feel free to find them again and everyone can post a screen shot!
Good Luck!
