Im surprised it has made it just floating out there. not exactly the best deep water ship to be out on. cant believe it hasnt capsized

I bet there are some nice electronics still on the sailboat. Can't believe it is still floating. They reported it too damaged to continue, I guess not.

Sail boats are very stable due to weight being real low in hull. As long as sail is down it will go on forever. People actually sail across oceans in boats that size.

But not me. Sailing is 2 much work.

Not in the gulf but saw an old 19" tv float down the bayou in Montegut.

I've seen bar be que pits, propane tanks. The coolest thing I ever saw was a giant manta ray. We were gigging flounder one night in about 10-12"s of water and the back of this thing was sticking out the water. My uncle picked up some sand and threw it at it and when that thing took off it made a wake like a crew boat!

Did yall see where that Japanese fishing boat just recently floated up off the coast of British Columbia? It was swept away during the tsunami.

We went out deep three days before Rita hit us in Cameron and acouple weeks after Katrina had hit NO. The Gulf was glass and we found a 60ft sailboat amongst fridgerators, pieces of roof tops, and the most debree I have seen out there. But under the sailboat there was a giant pile of tripletail and some big cobia. We jumped in with our snorkling equip and me and my friend each shot a nice triple tail and coming back to the boat. Whe I saw the biggest bul shark I have seen in my life in the Gulf Of Mexico. Most sharks I have seen diving act a little curious then seem to lose interest pretty quick and swim off. This big dude came up to the surface and started lapping us getting closer and closer. Friend in the boat saw this occuring, and ran the boat quickly b/w us and the shark. Scary as #hit and something I will never forget seing that big daddy and the feeling that I WAS THE PREY!

Thats how they purge humans before they eat them. Just circle around a few times.
