Yet another one on my beach walk

I tried to burn off calories from my meal last night, and after two hours of dragging myself on my morning walk, I decided to walk up and down our little beach to cool down.
I just knew it! I saw the second sailboat I had seen drifting during the storm we had recently. It washed ashore just like the one at our condo and hasn’t been removed, yet, either!
It can’t be seen from my windows.
What’s up with people not claiming their boats? It’s been a week now, and the word is out that it’s an eyesore. I agree.

Very strange if these people don't care about their sailboats then they should just get rid of them,

I hardly think you need to walk that much to burn off a few calories from one meal Dianne
It is a lovely beach.
No wonder the boat stopped there.
Are these boats worth a bit of money?

We don’t have much of a beach until the tide goes out, but it’s nice and I’m grateful to have it.
I have no idea how much boats cost, but I imagine they cost a pretty penny.

I don't get it either. They are expensive. Why would somebody just let them lie there?

I don’t know, but if they are, they would most likely leave them at one of the millions of marinas here. I think the owners probably live here year round. The guy I saw running away was out during that wicked storm we had and had to abandon his boat. Maybe a sail or the motor broke. And I think the other one broke free of its mooring and blew in with the wind and the high tide. If I had a boat, I certainly would get it back to where it would be safe. Maybe the boat repair places are busy with other boats. I have no idea, but it isn’t a pretty sight at all.

A second one! Hope those owners would claim their boats very soon!

I would also wonder why owners of boats that wind up in the shore myself.

Well besides that, it looks like a nice beach. Not sure why people do that either
