We do not get really white sand here, it's tan kind of. We do not have coral the water is too cold. No parrot fish. Pacific tidal currents run north to south until it gets to Chile.

Squal blew in, broke his mast and they found him 30 plus days later , 3,000 miles west of Chile. He ate seagulls and drank rain water to survive. No eperb, no radio, no kicker motor, no brain.
