It's a Virgin Traders boat. Same one that was run up on Pelican Island a few years ago.

Mechanical troubles? Couldn't tell if there was anyone on board as it washed up onto the beach. I trust everyone was all right, but any idea what happened?

So they anchored off the best swell amplifying bay in all of the BVI and then went ashore for the night leaving the boat unmanned???

It's late in the season for that kind of swell. Lots of happy surfers!
