This is the sailboat "Happy" listing starboard in
the mud flats of Bodega Bay. It has been mired
here since approximately Oct. of 2007.

The sailboat was abondoned by it's owner who had
fallen behind in mooring fees and had been evicted.

The story goes that the owner tried to move the boat
but the Coast Guard intercepted him saying the boat
was not seaworthy. He anchored it in the channel. A
storm blew in, dislodged the boat and pushed it in
to the mud flats. And here it sits...........
