Saw her drifting this morning, and she came in heaving distance.

Has some nice winches. The cockpit is full of green slime, I went
below looking for bodies and only found 8" of rain water. She blew
this way and I used my 100' heaving line and monkey's fist to salvage
her before she hit the rocks, tangled the fist on the bow railing as
she was drifting.

Have her tied up at the barge landing hoping the owner comes looking
for her. Not a bad looking day sailor just kinda cheap looking below,
sorta like the 35s5 stark interior... just moldy. Even has a nicely
folded set of sails.

I bet the owner lives a far drive away and just gave up on sailing,
and never misses the boat.

Seems the owner is more concerned with the anchors he's tossed out on
land, that he has no time to spend sailing or securing or cleaning his
boat. I see it all the time, guys one year with girls all over him hot
sports car, fast boats, fancy cigars, one year, then the next year
they pushing a baby buggy. First to go is the sports car replaced by a
mini van, then the boat replaced with a swing set and on and on until
they become just another surban soccer mom. It's sad really. They
have one kid, and figure what the hell, I've set anchor, might as well
set two, or three...not going anywhere... might as well, WTF.

The good thing is most these people are in their 20's and when they
reach their 40's they are able to move back to a more liberating life
of adventure and exploration un-hindered by deep digging anchors.

Guess the boats going to end up crushed in the dumpster, like that
day sailors dreams.

Sad...sad thing to see. I hope he got it offshore at least once before
he tossed in the towel.
