The Coast Guard says the 50-foot Carver Yacht called Nauti Dream was starting to sink and the crew called 911. They also hailed the Coast Guard for help on VHF Channel 16, but didn’t respond to Coast Guard callouts on the radio.

Local first responders located the cell phone that called 911 near Buoy 62 in the Chesapeake Bay, off Northumberland County in Virginia’s Northern Neck.

Best offer.

Thanks!

Ok, this is an odd one for me and am wondering your thoughts:

2003 Carver 396 aft cabin is my boat.

She was in heated storage for the winter and launched last week. The water temperature was 38F (these details will be brought up later)

I used a hand pump to ...
