BIOT, Sunken Yacht, 2002
BIOT, Sunken Yacht, 2002 - In 2002, I was invited by Charles Veley to join his cruise to British Indian Ocean Territory. He chose the fastest way to go, hiring a yacht that met us in Gan. We flew in, then sailed two days to Saloman Atoll. The boat in this photograph sunk during a storm at night. One of the two anchors came loose, the boat swung around, and hit coral. When we met the owners, they were staying as guests on another yacht in the harbor. They were waiting for someone to come and resurface the boat; then it would have to be hauled to a place where it could be prepared. There were no facilities at all on the Saloman Atoll. Zero.
