There a couple of posts on ForArgyll that appear to be by members of the crew, clearly suggesting fatigue as the probably cause.
That was certainly my first thought when we saw the vessel. Lying at a very shallow angle to the shore, consistent with an error in the course adjustment at the Salen dog-leg and the lookout(s) dozing off.... That or a failure in the steering mechanism. Not a catastrophe, fortunately, whatever the exact cause.
