So I ran across this recently and been meaning to post it, just sorta interesting I guess lol.
This video pops up on my FB feed, posted by a charter fisherman from around Matagorda somewhere best I can tell. Boat found drifting approximately 10 miles offshore. A boat with French registration
Sifting though the comments, turns out this boat was reported stolen back in April.... in St. Pierre, Martinique. An island in the east Caribbean. There were posts from others that had seen it drifting as well.
A day after that video was posted, it washed up on Matagorda Beach.
A bit of Google says that's a distance of approximately 2,100 nautical miles, pretty crazy
More sifting though the comments regarding this thing, shortly after being found on the beach, the motor may or may not still be on that boat lol. But more importantly were the comments regarding the lights still being on for such a long time. I'd like to know what kinda frikken battery it had lol
Anyway, my strange news/boating related contribution for the time being
