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 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

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?

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

@DianneN I hope they're not thinking of abandoning their boats.

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.

You have a lovely view there.
Maybe you can repaint the boat and register it as yours, lol! Or sell it... just kidding, since no one is claiming it.

It could be that it's northerners who own the sailboat and are out of town right now, or perhaps they have a winter home out in Wellington or something and just haven't had the chance to get back to the intracoastal to check on their sailboat.

@DianneN I wonder if they incur any fines or fees from state or local government for their boats not being properly moored?

@moffittjc I have no idea to be honest. They are still here. I’ve been too busy to ask more questions about them.

Turns out that the sailboat in my backyard sailed during a big storm we had last week from the west coast of Florida. The man has been here twice looking at it. The other one broke loose from its mooring. I have no idea where they live, but it is such a shame.

a twin boat?
2 hours of walking is pretty good burning calories to me
. yes, boat owners are so strange
