A 65-year-old man was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard on Saturday after his 38-foot sailing vessel capsized 135 miles east of Daytona Beach, according to the Coast Guard.
The man was hoisted from the ship by a helicopter and taken to Daytona International Airport to receive treatment for lacerations and a broken arm.
The mane sent a message to a dispatch center saying he had experienced a head injury and his vessel was taking on water.
FLORIDA| The first sign something was wrong came Tuesday when Bahamian authorities reached out to the U.S. Coast Guardâs Southeast Division to alert them that 20 people aboard a blue and white 29-foot Mako Cuddy Cabin vessel had gone missing. The passengers were in the oft-cited Bermuda Triangle.
The group, yet to be identified, was last known to have left Bimini on Monday en route to Lake Worth, the Coast Guard learned. They should have arrived that day.
But something went wrong somewhere in the waters between the Bahamas and South Florida â an area that encompasses the mythical section of the Atlantic oft-dubbed the Bermuda Triangle or Devilâs Triangle, unofficially bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico and covering about 500,000 square miles of ocean off the southeastern tip of Florida, according to the History Channel.
