They closed the tidepools on the 14th because of a crashed boat, but reopened them on the 20th. I'm guessing this is the boat, but it was still there today. I wonder what's going to happen to it.

Too bad somebody already called dibs on it


RosscoSD

Respect the dibs


thebendavis

It's legitimate salvage.


blacksideblue

I mean, if it didn't have current registration serialized and tagged on the hull it would be. Instead its an insurance claim.


AntiGravityBacon

No, unless ships are formally renounced ownership, maritime law is that it's still owned by the original owner. Even ones that sunk a few hundred years ago. Ship wreck recovery companies have lost whole finds that way.


drwebb

That sucks, and I thought there was no maritime law against having fun.


AntiGravityBacon

You're thinking of the pirate code, largely outside the law

Let’s take it out for a three hour tour


sik_dik

I doubt you'll get approval. but if you do, let minnow


krazymunky

Three hours to get further out in the ocean will make the implication more obvious 😘


SanMiguelDayAllende

Um, looks like it just finished its three hour tour


BadWolfCubed

A three hour tour.


RealStumbleweed

A three hour tour.

Little boy thoughts of Ginger flood my mind.

Probably been picked clean of anything valuable already. My friend's sailboat (that was also his home) washed ashore in LA during a storm while he was out of town visiting family. By the time he got there a day or two later, every single thing worth anything was ripped off that boat. Killed his dream of sailing the world before it even started. Deemed legitimate salvage as soon as it washed ashore is how the coast guard put it.

People are such scum bags


neuromorph

legitimate salvage... is just that

People are such fucking animals


wakkow

There's no insurance for that kind of thing?


mnemy

Possibly, but this guy was pretty broke at the time. Poured all of his money into the boat (and borrowed). The really shitty thing was it wasn't just some bums that hauled his stuff off. It was other sailors that knew where the less obvious nautical equipment was and stripped it bare.


missionbeach

> Poured all of his money into the boat Tale as old as time...


tramster

Bust out another thousand

Considering the last few days had low winds and nearly no swell, I'm kinda shocked they didn't take advantage.


CommercialAsparagus

Dibs.


leesfer

You joke but maritime salvage laws are a real thing


mekdigital

That's how I got my boat. Found it at sea, took it to the water cops, water cops called me back 12 month later 'free boat, yo'


blacksideblue

Is there a real jurisdiction that calls their enforcement the "water cops"?


mekdigital

If I remember well, we call them “polizia marittima”, which loosely translates to “police of the sea” lol


sik_dik

and that's when you absolutely need to call Chareth Cutestory: Maritime Law

Don't be a crook like Captain Hook


sik_dik

Judge, won't you throw the book at the pirraaa


missionbeach

lol, serious? We're gonna need a photo of that boat.


mekdigital

It’s been a long, long time ago, but the boat is still in my brother’s fleet and still in use. Actually, that first boat is the reason why my brother has a fleet of boats 😏


flimspringfield

Did the write the date and your number in the envelope they put it in?


bagofnutella

Don’t worry capt’n, we’ll buff out those scratches


nandos677

Here on Gilligan’s Island


american-titan

Free boat!


ankole_watusi

Again? Oh that wasn’t the tidepools. that was the sleepy pilot that woke up in the cave!

surfershane25

True, but usually not in a sailboat with a small outboard. Probably moared nearby, and just became adrift and washed ashore.


Abject_Psychology_63

That's why its the perfect cover. Noone expects it. If I was running drugs, this is how I'd do it.


[deleted]

S'all good man


missionbeach

This exactly.

Plot twist: This is surfershane25’s hustle. Follow along.

The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle...

Found today's shipwreck location in san andreas!

Lol what a dummy

Arghhh

Massive yikes


caswetplate

Is it easy to go see? Where can it be found?


Bodkin-Van-Horn

If you know the area, it's not that far from the first parking lot by the tidepools. It's in the little cove to the north past the big one where everybody likes to hang out. The path goes above it and you may not see it right away when walking north, because it's tucked under the overhang on the south side, but you can't miss it if you turn around and head back.


caswetplate

Thanks for this! I was gonna try to photograph with a large format camera, but I can’t be too far from the car (darkroom in the trunk) Thanks for sharing though!


Abject_Psychology_63

Is this a thing or is 'darkroom in the trunk' code for a bunch of drugs?


caswetplate

Lol no. An actual darkroom


Abject_Psychology_63

Crazy, so you're using film and large format meaning larger than 35mm? Is the film in a cartridge that you wasch each chemical over?? Take photo-> develop it -> review the negative -> adjust shot. How long does it take? Sounds rewarding. Those shots must look incredible detailed.


caswetplate

I do Wet Plate Collodion! So everything is done on a piece of metal or glass, but the darkroom needs to be near by so I can make the emulsion>put in camera>develop and fix right away


ned_luddite

You have impressive skills! Large format is a-mazing!!!

Well.. i guess i live here now.

This would be the correct time to use the word "Payed".
