It's a big ocean. Remember the kids off the coast of South Florida? I don't know of their boat or them being found. With all the other problems he had with this boat, it could be sunk somewhere close or it could have floated away very fast. We don't know where it is so clearly we have no idea what happened to it.

I highly doubt it was stolen, but we obviously don't know one way or the other. Who knows when a boat is left unattended and without it's primary anchor. I've known many boats to float away when unattended.

That brings us to something for all of us to think about. Many leave boats in anchorages untended with minimal security if any. I don't think any of us would think of taking a huge stack of hundred dollar bills and leaving it on the sidewalk as we went into a store shopping, yet we leave boats worth many thousands like that. It's like leaving your keys in your car. I'm personally amazed there isn't more boat theft.
