Freed prisoner
Yesterday I saw a two-masted sailboat several miles down the beach not really moving. I figured they were anchored. Sails were down. This morning it was just off our beach. Front sail was in the water, anchor swinging at water level, drifting against the sandbar. Saw the name was "phantom of the aqua". Called police to report a boat in distress, they knew about it from yesterday. Said it was abdandoned.
i googled the name and found it was available for charter. I called the number and left a VM and then texted the guy. He responded and we chatted a bit. Lost the boat in Irma by Tampa. He called a marina who anchored it for him and was sending a tow boat. Yesterday. I mentioned it was drifting along the sandbar today but seemed in good shape. Then about an hour later it cleared the sandbar and washed ashore. He was devastated. Anchor job by the marina failed and the tow boat never showed up. Was supposed to be there by 3pm yesterday. Now that boat is totaled.
First he thought it was gone from storm, then it was salvageable, now it's ruined. What a ride.
