rescue of boat


We anchored at Berry island club, near Chub cay and the wind blew all night, 22 knots. There was no protection from the wind so the men stayed up till 3am to check that the anchor did not drag. It didn't! When the sun rose we noticed a rubber duck washed up on the shore and the motor on the water line. Rob got onto the radio and asked who owned the boat, its name was on it. They collected the very worried captain who had lost his tender boat during the strong winds. Amazingly they put it together and Rob flushed the engine and it started working again. The Captain was close to tears so happy to have his tender back in one piece.
