Sailboat captain warns of danger after tragic accident claims three children near Miami Beach
A tragic accident involving a sailboat and a barge in Biscayne Bay near Miami Beach resulted in the loss of three children. A local sailboat captain in South Florida is now advocating for increased safety awareness on the water. Meanwhile, the lone survivor's family is eagerly awaiting answers from the U.S. Coast Guard. Russell Beyer, an experienced sailboat captain, emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the unpredictable nature of sailing. He stresses the need for skill, experience, and adaptability while navigating on the water. Beyer highlights the significance of having multiple maneuvering options in emergencies. The family of the surviving child, 7-year-old Calena Gruber, is awaiting the results of the Coast Guard investigation to determine accountability. Coast Guard rules indicate that sailboats typically have the right of way over powered vessels, except in cases where the powered vessel has limited mobility. The family is not currently pursuing any legal action until the investigation is concluded, with the Coast Guard yet to release further details about the incident.
