I see them too often, boats in distress. Maybe you know somebody casually, to say hi, but not well enough to know why the routine of their boat, suddenly changes.Owner may have been older and taken sick or died recently. A widow may not have known enough or had been too distracted to get the boat out of the water for winterization. Maybe there was nobody close enough to the owner to take care of the boat or even think about it. Some folks have relatively lonely lives. I have to admit/agree, the drone video is suspicious.
Left on a mooring way longer than normal, or gets hauled elsewhere, shows up in another harbor. Sure enough health problem or too often, death of the owner.
I've learned of a few deaths of people, through what happened to their boats. Not many people think of their boats in a health crisis.
Here's a new one: A real basic family boat spent last winter on a mooring. I along with a few other concerned people don't know the family well enough to inquire.
Why was the boat suddenly unatteneded? The dad was swept up in the heroin epidemic sweeping our state, and country.
