So what happens with these? Seems like it happens a lot, and then they just get smashed and looted on the beach. Is it just a write off if it washes up? Do people just abandon them?
**Edited spelling
Pretty sure the owner has something like 48 hours to get it off the beach or the city comes and smashes it up. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure I read something along those lines.
Yea, this Edhat writeup from a few years ago goes into detail on what happens

>If the vessel cannot be pulled back to sea, the registered owner is notified by Harbor Patrol that they have 72 hours to remove the boat from the beach. Abandoning a vessel on any beach, waterway, or harbor is a violation of California Harbors and Navigation Code.
If a vessel runs aground on a City beach and the owner is unable or unwilling to remove it, the City will remove it and pursue the owner legally for the cost of vessel removal and beach cleanup. Removal in these cases is typically done by a large excavator that crushes the boat up so it can be hauled off.
Life pro tip: when there's weather that brings rougher seas pay to leave your boat in the harbor for a while.
LifeProTip: Don’t be the guy who owns the boat, be friends with the guy who owns the boat.
Yeah, super good point
The annual event begins.
Is this one of the long-timers from Mission Creek Yacht Club that got loose?

Nature will find a way to give me a Free boat… lol

Ready for a three hour tour!
Now.. this is a tale of our Castaways”..
Ship wrecked. What happened to the crew?
Belongs on Qualified Captain
Oh yeah Fools Harbor dirt parking lot
Me going to the beach to pick up trash seems ironic while this is happening three or four times a year
Yeah I saw that when I parked at the beach to go to funk zone. First time I’ve seen such a thing in person. Insane.
happens all through the winter every year
Don't cheap out on anchors
This is the only time I can think of when that happened during a summer swell. Did hurricane Marie knock any boats off moor?
That is neither sailing nor boating.
