"At Pillar Point Harbor in Calif, the put the abandoned and dead beat

paying boats in "The Box". They tow them up on the beach and let the
salvagers go at them."

Which was a total lie, I contacted Pillar Point and got this reply:

Sir,
Please rest assured that this practice is not done at Pillar Point, or
any other marina operated by San Mateo county. Our county prides itself

on being in the forefront of environmental regulation, an
area that is commonly referred to as the box. This area is where we put

watercraft to hold, that are grossly delinquent in fees. This area is
not, however, a salvage area. We hold the watercraft in this area until

either payments have been satisfied, or liens are in place. In the
worst case, if liens are intact, we dispose of the boats in a legal
manner. This usually involves selling either at auction, or to licensed

salvagers. Thank you for your interest.



And where do you think the salvagers get to the boat?


Must be all of those boats that you claim are just abandoned all over
the delta.
