Hull #13

   

*** sunken ***

As luck would have it with Hull #13 ...

Number 13 is buried in the sand in a cove in the SW corner of Whale Cay, Berry Islands, Bahamas. I last observed just the transom poking out of the sand, and noted the serial number in mid 90's while anchored there.

The story goes...

A gypsy girl was infuriated with her boyfriend - who was drinking in the bar on Chub Cay. Mad.  She sailed to nearby Whale Cay and anchored in the still waters of this tiny, pristine cove. A squall quickly came up causing the anchor to drag. The boat beached and sunk in the sand, where she rests today forever wrestling with the elements. A nasty reminder of how easily anchors drag in the thin sand covered bottom in the Bahamas.
