Hi Paul
This did come up here on the list earlier this week and yes, it is/was
my boat. Does not look like any survivors.

Hi,
I came across this article in Cruising Compass about a stolen C&C 35
whose EPRIB last reported its location in the eye of a hurricane. I
include the associated link for additional reading.
The linked article is an interesting and somber read. For example, the
boat owner describes his initial conversation with the coast guard,
"They told me that my personal locator beacon had been activated and
was showing a position in the middle of hurricane Larry, … They asked
me if that seemed at all reasonable and I said, no, it doesn’t. It
should be on the boat and the boat should be happily tied up at the
Armdale Yacht Club.”
The article get even more bizarre by mentioning the suspect as a Royal
Yachting Association Yachtmaster Certificate holder and drug smuggler
who was earlier arrested on a burning sailboat with over 500 kg of
cocaine off the coast of Nova Scotia and who later escaped police
custody while at a hospital. I hope both the vessel and the drug
smuggling boat thief survive. I would love to watch the movie with a
happy ending.
