Sailor's boat runs aground at Byron Bay
from Sunrise · host LiSTNR
Jeff Sutton's boat ran aground on Byron Bay beach after his anchor broke and tore the winch off the deck while he was ashore sourcing repair parts for a broken boom. The sailor, who has been voyaging for three and a half years, faces a potential $20,000 fine and was initially told by Maritime and Salvage they would dismantle his boat for up to $200,000. With help from the local Byron Bay community, he has secured a salvage operator to remove the vessel from the beach at a significantly lower cost.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
