Crashed sailboat remains curiosity

A man watches the sunset March 8 from a swing made with a skateboard seat hung from the rigging of a stranded sailboat, Lucky Us 2. The sailboat beached Feb. 12 in Holmes Beach near 79th Street after its crew was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard during a storm the night before. The boat owner, Michigan resident James Golembiewski, launched “Help Unbeach ‘Lucky Us 2’” on the GoFundMe platform to raise money for the vessel’s removal. He was ordered by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to remove the boat but an appeal awaits a hearing. The money campaign had raised $5,983 toward its $15,000 goal as of March 18.
