This article has pictures of the cat that went ashore yesterday.
Based on wind and wave numbers from the buoys off Cape Blanco and
Stonewall bank, I estimate the boat went over sometime between 0300 and
1200 on Dec 11, somewhere between Coquille River and Coos Bay. This is
only an educated guess.
Conditions peaked around 0900 on that date in that area with 30+ foot seas.
This is the latest article from a San Francisco paper.

I have a report of a boat similar to this in San Diego earlier in the month.

Probably a stupid question but I wonder if someone checked in the hulls for
bodies.

Carl,
If you read the news reports that previous posters had provided links to, you'll
see that the hulls were indeed searched. The searchers has found the crew's log
book as will as the ship's EPIRB (locked up!), but no bodies.
One news report from the San Francisco Chronicle reported that a male body
washed ashore 70 miles south of where the cat washed ashore, but the body had
not yet been identified.
