Wandrin Star in Aratu,Salvador,Brasil

A sad sight to see,an abandoned boat, being a Durban boat,this yacht had sailed 1000 miles further than ourselves when we started from Cape Town.
It was left unlocked and was leaking through the rudder stock,I went aboard many times and pumped its bilges,an attempt to contact the owners and have it gifted to me was made but with no success.It was really well fitted out inside too.

Left click the picture to view full size,in the left corner you will see a small section of its sister ship,also from Durban,Rain Maker which circumnavigated,then on another trip with new owners John Hemmins,was lost in hurrican Luis in St Maarten.
