T&T: Anyone know what caused fire?

[Ksebby@aol.com]

Earlier this month, on May 7, it was reported that a Man Was Rescued After
Yacht Burns In Strait Of Juan De Fuca.  A 52-foot yacht caught fire and sank
in
the Strait of Juan de Fuca on Saturday.  The man was the only person aboard
when the Spirit Quest erupted in flames about 4= miles east of Pillar Point
near
the mouth of the Pysht River.  The man was in the water for 20 minutes.  The
smoke was visible about 30 miles away in Port Angeles, and the crew on board a
Coast Guard boat that went to the scene heard explosions from the burning
yacht.  The man was treated and released from a hospital.  The cause of the
fire
was not immediately known.

    Anyone hear what the cause of the fire was?  Or any other information?
