IT IS a story straight out of the Bermuda Triangle. A ghost ship with no sails or crew makes a near 30km journey through treacherous river waters and into the open ocean as if guided by unseen hands.
The unnamed 8.5m North 28 timber yacht was last seen when its Padstow owner tied it to moorings at Parsley Bay near Brooklyn on the NSW Central Coast two months ago but on Tuesday it was found almost 30km away off Terrigal without a soul on board.
No one is sure when the yacht managed to break free of its moorings and set sail, although it was probably on Monday night.
It was spotted by a sick man watching the sea through his telescope at his home at Killcare around 8.45am on Tuesday before the owner even knew it was missing.
