Abandoned boats

Today we sailed up the bay back to Port Charlotte / Punta Gorda area. We’ve anchored just off from the city park at Port Charlotte and there on shore was yet another boat. Everywhere we go there seems to be sailboats that have blown ashore. This boat seems to be in pretty good shape. The mast is still up and the hull appears to be in good shape. There is even a sign in the cockpit that says “no trespassing”. The boat is very close to a parking lot and it would be no problem to get a crane in and lift it onto a truck. It could even be moved during high tide if the proper preparation was taken. Instead, it will sit against the rocks until a hole is pounded in the side of the hull and the boat will then be trash. Sadly, it will just end up as another beached boat picture for our photo album.
