West Seattle weather: Wayward sailboat?

6:19 PM: Though it’s been windier today than we’ve seen in a while, we haven’t had any reports of trees downed or other trouble on the peninsula – but someone just texted the photo above to report that a sailboat appears to be on its way to grounding on Lincoln Park’s north shore. Just in case it’s yours – or you know whose it is – we’re sharing the photo. They say the one in the background doesn’t seem to be dragging its anchor, just the one in the foreground.

9 PM UPDATE: The original texter says no one’s come for the boat yet and it’s headed for the rocks.

This boat is always in the same predicament . Last time I was out snorkel diving, he was pulling off shore…

gee, I guess it makes me think that whoever owns it must have money to spare. Or…maybe they’re out of town for the weekend. I know if I owned a boat like that, I would be concerned. But then, I’m a tad poorer than they are, obviously. What a shame…it’s a nice boat from the looks of it.

“Break Off Another Thousand”, “A hole in the water in which you put money”, and “the happiest days are when you buy a boat and when you sell a boat” are the classic dad jokes that might argue against that. Especially if you’re using a public park’s shoreline as free moorage.

Has anyone seen my cedar log with the Kingfisher carving on it? Has it started to float away too?

Hi! Is that yours? A reader sent us a photo last week and I hadn’t published it yet. Would love to know more if you might consider e-mailing us at editor@westseattleblog.com. (Among other things, I want to be sure I publish it right-side up!)

WSB- Did the boat hit the beach?

I have not heard back, and we haven’t been to the park to check. The last I heard from the tipster (whose photo, pre-crop, indicated they were a park neighbor, not visitor), they and other neighbors were going to head out to try to prevent that.

I dropped you an email concerning the carving and with a photo attached, I’m not sure if you received it. The carving is of a kingfisher. www. art-a-float.com. David Call
