Bermuda Triangle gets another one.

It looks like a boat has vanished in the Bermuda Triangle.
C&P
A search that covered more than 17,000 square miles, over 80 hours, between the Bahamas and Florida has ended with no sign of a missing boat with an estimated 20 people aboard, the U.S. Coast Guard said Friday.
The 29-foot blue and white Mako Cuddy Cabin departed Bimini on Monday bound for Lake Worth Beach, but Bahamian authorities reported it missing and sought the Coast Guard’s help.
Coast Guard air and sea crews and aircraft from Patrick Air Force base in Brevard County were assisting the Royal Bahamas Defence Force and Bahamas Air Sea Rescue Association with the search.

Trsd that. I don't believe in the triangle thing other than the area has lots of traffic just like an interstate and stuff happens. We have I-57 right next to me and it's has more fatalities than most and is known as the "death zone."
But do they just vanish without a trace??
Modern day Pirates. Took all the valuables. Disabled any GPS locator. Sell off the good looking women, men over the side. Boat is then sent way south and sold off.
how about the planes that go missing, pirates too?
No, they all come to Alaska and disappear.
Quick, spot the plane crash in this photo.
I think It's more a "twenty people on a 30 ft boat" thing ......................... sigh .................
It is a HUGE area for a 26' boat to get lost in. The sea is unforgiving and covers 70% of the globe. Finding a minuscule boat in that area is like finding a needle in a hay field the size of Texas...
The short term for "vanished without a trace" is "sunk".
Well, no but that's land and the ocean eats things and miles deep.
I just finished reading "Frozen in Time," about searches for a WWII plane the crashed on the Greenland ice cap. A most fitting description by one of the searchers: "It's like looking for a single speck of dirt on an empty ice hockey rink."
The area sharks eat well too!
OK here's an example of how easy it is to get lost in the wilderness, even knowing your location.
Let's say a red Turbine Otter went down on the snow, on the south slopes of Mt. McKinley. The pilot reports his location as (garbled) 62.9N by 150.7W. Using Google Maps to make it easy, find the plane and post a screen shot of it.
Here's mine:
