Oddly enough the manual crank for the windlass is inserted in the windlass and anchor locker open. This leads me to wonder if his windlass was not working and he fell off the bow while trying to retreive the anchor manually????

I am betting the registration numbers and I'd on the motors etc were removed. And the owner let the boat go out to sea hoping to claim a stolen boat. And get out from under the payments. Hoping the vessel would be lost out to see somewhere. Just my thoughts. We are seeing a lot of torched high end cars these days. And not in the typical places that the cars are usually torched once the the if got a ride home. The high end cars are just all of a sudden catching fire. Some homes are now going up too

Perhaps he an insurance fraud case, perhaps drug smugglers.

How crazy is that? Weird. I wonder what the outcome will be?

Re: Anybody see this? Boat washes ashore

Very. CNN had an article on it too - something about it being registered to the feds. That adds a layer if intrigue

I'm betting on a murder at sea tied to drug cartels based in Mexico.

hopefully no one was hurt.

I found a link to an article from a Cancun area Paper...seems the boat is missing from there. I ran it through Google to translate it...

How can we find out what happened?????:huh:

I haven't been able to find an update yet. The CG called off their search late last night. Thye might resume today but who knows. My neighbor thought the boat was owned by a couple of doctors. He said it was at their marina a few times. The salvage crew was working on it and said it could take days to get it off the beach.

Sounds like it was owned by Mexican government officials....maybe they tried to stop taking bribes from the cartels:huh:.

Here's a video form a local news station. They said the motors were running and the autopilot engaged. Still no word from the owners?

[tcontic]

Any idea how they'll get it off the beach?

 

[skibum]

Ouch! This is going to get expensive. I'm betting that the owner fell overboard.

Re: Anybody see this? Boat washes ashore

The media morons don't get it, It is a federally documented vessel, NOT registered to the federal government. The local news team keeps changing from a 43' to a 48' boat even with it clearly saying "48 Sundancer"

Idoits!
