Not sure what happened here but looks like boat and crew are fine.

Based on it pointed bow in, it does not look like it was drifting. Drifters flaot beam to sea.

Someone asleep at helm? Or no one.

Betcha the blades on the prop are ALL bent too.

Happy everyone is safe but looks like autopilot and someone went to sleep.

I heard about a distress call when they were still a mile out... Let's not jump to conclusions yet.

That's even worse a mayday call a mile off shore. ... drop the hook.

Maybe it was sinking and he intentionally beached it?

We shall see.

One this is for sure.. they are not fishing today.

Must be single screw- twins would allow for steering if rudder froze

I was having dinner with the Family on Sunday at Martell's
same boat hull color and configuration 400 yards off the beach.

only one of 3 vessels out that evening about 7pm

I was wondering what the heck he was doing. I think its the same
boat. Must like being close to shore! Little too close today!
