Hurricane Ian beached the Shayna Michelle at 23rd Avenue South in the City of Myrtle Beach this past Friday.
The legendary fishing boat, once known as the “Winds of Fortune”, became stranded and needed the help of Charleston based Shem Creek patrons to get the boat back into the ocean.
The fishing trawler was formerly owned by Captain Wayne Magwood of Shem Creek, S.C.
Captain Magwood’s popular shrimp boat, the Winds of Fortune (Shayna Michelle), made appearances on The History Channel, Dirty Jobs, The Amazing Race and was even featured in a music video for country singer Darius Rucker’s “Come Back Song.”
The boat is now named the Shayna Michelle and is owned by Holden Beach Seafood.
May her future at sea be as bright as her legendary past.
