A day at the Jersey shore was not on the agenda when one man set sail on a peaceful journey with his brand-new sailboat.
Chesapeake Bay resident Steve Strictland made the unexpected pit-stop when he left Queens, New York, where he bought a rare Coronado 30 sailboat about three weeks ago.
Strictland, a 4-year mariner set the boat to autopilot Sunday night when things took a turn, and he ended up on Ocean City beach around 4 a.m. Monday.Officials say the boat hit the rock jetty off Ninth Street beach then ran aground. The sole sailer was not injured, but his boat suffered minimal damage to its rudder.
