Posts: 2 FLorida | This past week I spent my vacation at an ocean front condo on beautiful Singer Island. To my surprise upon going out on the 8th floor balcony I spotted a catamaran parked on the beach. I didn't think too much of it really until I realized that it was abandoned. I want to share with you all the photos of what happened over the course of 24 hours.

I have never seen a boat ripped apart so badly by the surf. I am amazed that the owner of this boat simply walked away, and left it sitting there. The debris and trash that washed up on shore once this boat broke apart was incredible, and had locals and tourists picking up debris for days. I am simply stunned....I can't say more than that.

Horrible thing to see
