Adrift

At 19:40 we got a call from the Port of Friday Harbor Security about a vessel adrift off the Port's breakwater, near Beaverton Cove.

Upon arriving, the Port's skiff was preventing this vessel from playing bumper boats with the other vessels at anchor. I put her on Remedy's hip and headed for our dock. On the way I called the San Juan County Sheriff, and the Coast Guard with the vessel's information and the fact that we had her.

The owner is most probably in town; shopping, at dinner, or ......well at 21:30 with no call yet, your guess is probably as good as mine.

He'll be in for a surprise with no boat, an hour's worth of our time and and his vessel chained to a dock. Oh yea, we could have claimed Salvage on this one, but will not because of the circumstances.

And so begins the holiday weekend.
