A 33' Sailboat made the 4,700 mile voyage from Costa Rica to Hilo Solo! The vessel was abandoned by her owner on Dec. 2nd, '05 due to heavy weather and engine trouble. She made the voyage without him. Here's a LINK (www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13189295/from/R.S.4/)

Yeah I read the article too Menehune and was amazed. I know that 3/4 of the globe is covered by water but for a 33 foot boat to drift, unmanned since Dec of 05 w/o being seen :eek: , unreal :) . Now I hear the owner is thinking about possibly salvaging the vessel, judging by the pics, looks like the boobys have first rights, lol.
