I hope somebody analyzed that sandwich to find out how old it was at the time the boat was recovered. Or have I been reading too many Patricia Cornwell novels?
I guess they could analyze DNA from the sandwich to help identify the person on the boat.
Well, on the positive-thinking side, it might be that the person paused while eating his sandwich, threw it back in the cooler, hopped onto the dock -- forgetting to tie the boat up -- and while he walked back to wherever he was going, the boat drifted off.
If it was 23 miles south of the Cape Fear River mouth then it was out almost past Frying Pan Shoals, pretty far out and could have drifted from anywhere.
And, yep, it will have registration numbers if it was from NC.
