Couple sells everything to buy a boat and sail the open sea

Only to have it sink 2 days later sailing in shallow water...

A Colorado couple said they sold everything they owned to buy a sailboat and set out for the open seas together.


Within two days, their ***** became a nautical nightmare.

On their way to Key West, Tanner Broadwell and Nikki Walsh's voyage abruptly ended in John’s Pass off Madeira Beach, Fla., when their 28-foot sailboat struck something underwater Wednesday night.

"We hit something in about 8 or 9 feet of water and it stopped the boat completely," Broadwell told TV station WFTS.

Water flooded into the cabin, starting to sink their fantasy life. The couple grabbed social security cards, cash, IDs and their pug Remy as they called for rescue.

They should have stayed in the mountains. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they haven't a clue about boats and sailing.
