Yes, everyone has problems

I finally got the California Blood Tax paid on my car yesterday and got the plates, I took it down to Doheney to take a picture, look over the top right,
this boat washed ashore Friday, someone sure screwed up. The tide hasn't been high enough to float it.

Pictures today, opposite view, I wonder if the state has a parking fee for this.

Looks like a yak in the earlier pix on the bow...don't see it on the later ones. I could use either of the zodiacs

Always loved those Z3 'wagons'. Very unique.

i thought that the melting polar ice caps would have fixed that problem.

Just gonna take a few thousand more years. 5000 years ago Iowa was covered with Ice so it just may happen.

What a great opportunity to replace all of the through-hulls and a bottom cleaning. Kind of like careening as the pirates way back yon arrrrrrrrrr.
I like the car, nice color red.

Yeah, I went by it a few times today and the hull is still dirty, maybe they won't let them clean it on the beach. Or, they could put tarps around it and clean it. I will check it again tomorrow.

The ice was floating in the water in the glass.
Not all of the Polar ice is floating. Most of it is on land (Greenland, Antarctica)

I suspect the boat won't be worth much if the owner has to wait for the ice caps to melt.

Yes, still waiting for the big Ice Melt, high tide came and went, the boat didn't float. Boat guys, I think I would have paid a Tug to sit out there with a long line and when the tide came in, tried to pull it off. Yes/No?

LOL

Imagine the owner coming back the next day and finding a parking ticket attached to the bow.

I'd expect that from CA.

Probably a citation for littering the beach too.

looked like a beautiful day for a boat ride..

BeyGon · 03-02-2011, 09:59 AM

I talked to the ranger today, he said it got loose from it's mooring off shore Friday, nobody on board, the state doesn't want to touch it and has been giving the owner a lot of leeway to get it off. They may bring out a big backhoe and try to dig a channel for the next high tide. I don't have enough money to even think of getting into a problem like this. I owned a 14 foot Valco when I lived in Costa Rica, biggest boat I have had.

My BIL fell asleep and grounded his 30' sailboat near La Jolla. They gave him 24hrs to get rid of it. Had to bring in an excavator that smashed it and loaded the remains on to several trucks. It cost him $35K. Last I heard I think he's gotten his insurance company to pay.

That's what I was just thinking as I was reading this thread, dig a trench and float it out!
