Shipwrecked ! ~ Part I ~

The wreck of the Amakhayva. March 31, 2007.
. . . . and then in the third month of the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Seven, on the thirty-first day of that month, they found themselves Castaways on the Shore of Florida, two Leagues South of Jupiter Inlet . . . .

A sailing ship runs aground on the beach in Jupiter, Florida, after a stormy night in which they were sailing from Palm Beach to Stuart, Florida . . . and the owners camped out to save the ship from salvage, having no money to extricate it from the sands . . .

Um, it wasn't my boat. I just took the video.

It was too far up on the sand to be towed out or for the next tide. Removal estimates came in at around $20,000.

Jean Gau beached his boat, so did Moitessier. Even Joshua Slocum was washed up on the coast of Urugay.

All of them unexperienced? Just some pussies?

Gather your senses John, before you give me some thumbs down for not supporting your comments.

Salvager usually will pick her clean first and leave the rest to the pounding surf which will eventually break her up to pieces and scatter her all over the beach or drift back to sea. Hope they have insurance...

Did you pull over to scrape off some barnacles?

[CHOADspewer]

I dropped my keys in the water when I was at the cottage and they were about 3 feet deep so when I reached in my sleev e got wet. So I know how the owners must feel. Shitty.

How in bloody hell did the mast break?

[ZombieSlut13]

that is a beautiful boat,i would be so scared that it would of gotten water damage inside

all i can say is close every possible water entrance to the boat and wait for high tide and have a friend help tow it out into the break
