Ghost Yacht Mystery

The Kaz II was found off the Great Barrier Reef last week with its engine running and a table laid for dinner, but with no signs of [the three crew].

Rescuers who searched the vessel found the men's clothes folded in neat piles, a laptop computer charging, the radio working and navigational equipment laid out on the table. Three lifejackets and a dinghy were still on board.

Fishing lines were also out, and the fenders extended. The official search is over, which is sad. Did all three decide to have a swim near the boat, and get caught in a weird rip? Forgot the engine was idling faster than they could swim? Stunned by jelly fish or eaten by swordfish? Kidnapped? I don't buy the "washed overboard" theory even though the sail was shredded - things were sitting out on the table, not on the floor. Nothing adds up in this story. A true mystery.
