Yesterday was the longest day of the year, and we hope that you were all able to make the most of it. If that means attending a car show or spending some time in the park, that is a good way to spend it. Many others will have spent it on the water in a sailboat or powerboat. We’re quite sure the boat in the video below did not make it out on the water this weekend.
The
video was taken by Kurt Roll, who operates a camera-equipped drone.
According to the description, it occurred somewhere on the San Diego
coast, while Roll was filming a friend’s boat. Roll observed smoke and
about 10-15 minutes into the fire, flew his drone over to check out the
action. The footage is incredible:
The
boat is called the M/V Polar Bear, and is a 102-foot yacht, built by
Citadel Yachts from Tacoma, Washington. She was launched in 2011 for a
“wealthy U.S. businessman,” and the time of its launch, was registered
in North Dakota. She is powered by twin Caterpillar C-18B diesel
engines, each making 685 horsepower. Right now, they’re not making any
power, but we’re quite confident insurance will replace the large
vessel.
