On the 13 of November 2011 a rogue wave hit a 38 foot sailboat 235 nautical miles off Bermuda. The Anderson couple were aboard. The wave knocked the boat down, swept Ms Anderson overboard, and knocked Mr Anderson into the Bimini stays. He survived and was subsequently taken off the boat, she unfortunately perished.
In March as well as May of 2012, when I crossed the Atlantic on the MS Prinsendam, we spotted the abandoned boat twice. The first time she drifted about 125 miles from Bermuda, the second time she had drifted about 240 miles off Bermuda...
On the 13 July 2012 she was spotted by a charter fishing boat on the Argust Bank, about 26 miles off Bermuda. She was towed to Ely's Harbour.

| Triple Stars spotted in mid Atlantic in spring 2012 |
 |
| Triple Stars adrift, in March 2012. Her canvas was still there, albeit ripped somewhat. Later in May, she looked bare but still in solid shape. |
 |
| Here she is in Ely's Harbour, miraculously found and towed, after eight long month of aimless drifting in Atlantic currents, battered by wind and waves. What may be her fate in the future? |
