Just when you thought you could relax. Right next to Sea Gate Beach and down a bit from Historical Coney Island,, a Cruiser, approximately 25 foot was beached while it’s owner, from Brooklyn, and a member from the Coat Guard were shoveling out the sand so the boat could be removed.
I didn’t have my usual Sony camera so I had to take these shots with my Black Berry Curve.
I was told by a second member of the coast guard that the boat hit the jetty to our right a couple of nights ago putting a hole in it’s bow, as you can see from the picture. The buoy that floats approximately 20 ft out to sea from the jetty had a light out, during high tide, the captain of the boat could not see the rocks and hit, then began taking in water. By the looks of it, the boat was beaten up quite a bit by the waves. In the couple of days the boat spent on the beach during high tide, it took in a lot of sand. The owner, who lives in Brooklyn, and a member of the Coast Guard, were shoveling the large amount of sand that had built up so the boat could be moved from the beach.
