Unmanned Boat Adrift, 55 Miles Offshore

Found a lost boat 55 miles offshore. I suspect it is a survivor of a previous hurricane? It is in rough shape and appears to have been adrift for years.

It amazes me what the sea will take and what it will allow to float around for as long as it can.

Just shows you.......CANT SINK A WHALER!!! 😂 Hell of a boat

[@dondoesit]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@ralphholiman7401]

That kind of looks like a 9' Boston Whaler. That would be worth towing back.

[@dondoesit]

It was a little Whaler, The video did not show it very well but it was in very poor condition.

@@dondoesit so what did you do?

[@dondoesit]

@@tomp8871 Looks like it had been out there since hurricane Ian, Left it for the sea creatures.

If you can’t handle excitement, then don’t watch this video!

Free boat!

[@airtoseaDoug]

Great boat for your Dad to fix up and add it to inventory.

[@dondoesit]

Haha, One at a time.

There is Mahi under that boat. That might have been an old junk boat put out there purposely to attract Mahi. A good stop while fishing the lobster pots.

[@dondoesit]

Perhaps, But it was drifting.

[@robertboerschinger1429]

It looked like a line on the bow..... anchored ?

[@dondoesit]

No such luck, just a length of line tagging along.

[@danwaller5312]

Why is it anchored?

[@dondoesit]

Wish it was. No, there was just a length of rope trailing along for the ride.

[@patrickgreen7308]

Did you call it into fmp

[@dondoesit]

No, It looked like it had been drifting around since Hurricane Ian.

[@tarareed3394]

Does that have an anchor out?strange?

[@dondoesit]

Just a length of rope tailing along.

[@robertfunk2796]

divers ?

[@dondoesit]

No, Looks like it was an OLD dock tender before it got lost at sea.
