V-1 was underway cruising toward the west in the Atlantic Ocean . V-1's engine stalled and would not restart. V-1 drifted west onto the beach where it became grounded and swamped.

Owner/Operator stated he had gone out Sebastian Inlet into the Atlantic just south in the area of "Monster Hole". He notice some bait fish working to the south and began to fish and cruise slowly in towards shore. The outboard motor quit and he could not get it to restart.  The vessel began to drift towards the beach where it was caught in the surf then grounded on the beach and swamped by the surf. The vessel came to rest on the beach about one mile south of the Sebastian Inlet.

The vessel was removed by a salvage vessel the following day and towed in to Sebastian Inlet State Park boat Ramp where I inspected it.
