Scary stuff. They ended their voyage going up on the shore in one of
the least hospitable parts of the Abacos. They were on their way
south from the southern Chesapeake to the Caribbean and diverted to
the Bahamas for reasons that are not clear. Poor choice, if they had
a choice.

I was listening to 16 last Sunday when we had the pontoon out in the Banana
River. CG reported a boat turtled off of Miami at around 2:30 and within an
hour and a half, another wrong side up off of Melbourne Beach and a 30'+
Contender 26 miles off of Cape Canaveral "taking on water".
All during a small craft advisory......
