(w)rec.(ked)boats littering Sacramento Delta.....
A couple of weeks ago it was Harry and John H's general vicinity that
needed a bit of sprucing up. Now it looks like Calif Bill has some careless neighbors as well. Wrecked boats littering Sacramento River, Delta AP Posted: 2007-10-31 16:44:23 SACRAMENTO (AP) - The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department fears the county is becoming a dumping ground for abandoned boats. Among them is a paddle boat that was used in the John Wayne movie "Blood Alley" 50 years ago. The boat later ferried tourists as the "Spirit of Sacramento." But now it is a rusted, half-sunken wreck on the Sacramento River. Sheriff's Sergeant Scott Maberry says many owners abandon their boats rather than pay tens of thousands of dollars to dispose of them properly. The sheriff's department is drafting a county ordinance making it illegal to abandon a boat in a public waterway. |

Now there's even more. http://tinyurl.com/368o2e |
