Ouch, that’s definitely not a derelict. I’m assuming someone’s anchor didn’t hold in the wind. I don’t think there are any buoys right there.

That’s Rob and Rhonda’s sweet Valiant 40 – she sits on their mooring during the summer season. Unfortunately the mooring line broke – Rhonda knows the situation.

Thanks, Trevor! Yes, it’s our sailboat. I’ve posted a few more pics on Beach Drive Blog.

It was still there at 1930 last night. I hope there wasn’t any real damage. Hard to believe that there would be none, though, after 8 hours on the riprap and at least a part of the time at low tide.

Sorry, comment time is over.
