THIS IS NOT US!!!
During our time in Bimini a 35 foot Coronado sailboat became beached and subsequently broke up.
The skipper and his girlfriend were on board at the time but since the Coronado draws only 3.5 feet by the time she was firmly aground on Bimini's windward shore they were actually able to safely walk to shore.
The boat lay intact on the beach for 2 days after becoming beached, so the couple had the opportunity to collect their personal belongings. They spent 2 days after she broke up collecting debris from the beach. One week after the beaching the girlfriend flew home. The skipper sold off the remains of the boat to another boater for $l500.00. The skipper was unsure as to whether he would attempt to sign on to another vessel as crew and continue his southward passage or to go back to the States and possibly buy a new boat.
