Finders Keepers

This beauty is just waiting for someone to claim her. There is a For Sale sign on her stern but I’m thinking the price is quite negotiable considering her current location.



I think she is a Ketch but she’s definitely not a “catch”.  She’s missing a few items, like a rudder and a propellor. But, her second mast and both booms are in the sand just a little ways away. Mike and Steve VW now know all about reattaching booms to the mast. So no worries there. Her in-mast furling sails seem to still be inside her masts. 






I don’t know how long she’s been here. Her Florida registration expired at the end of October so she had a home recently. She’s acquired a little local color in the form of graffiti low on her hull that would be difficult to apply if she were anywhere else. The Sheriff’s Department Notice on her also suggests that she’s not new on the beach today. She has blown in from the ocean so I can’t imagine the scenario in which she got out there and then beached here all by herself. I hope no one got hurt.



Total miles south: 662 Temperature tonight vs. Vienna: 26 degrees warmer.
