Their dream, two years in the making, and everything they owned was gone in just 20 minutes after striking an underwater obstruction off the west coast of Florida. The couple and their dog were able to swim to safety with just the clothes they were wearing.

The boat was uninsured, but thanks to a GoFundMe campaign, over $14,000 has been raised to get the couple another boat, and hopefully some insurance.

Meanwhile, Tanner Broadwell and Nikki Walsh need to get their sunken 28-foot sailboat out of the water, a $6,700 process according to the Tampa Bay Times.
