Thank you for the report. It has been forwarded to our federal, state, and local partners and our Beaufort office personnel.
This is uncanny. For three months we’ve watched that boat float around in Broad Creek or become grounded in the wetlands at low tide. The day after I post it on this site, the boat is gone. We don’t know if it floated much further downstream on yesterday’s new moon tide or if someone finally hauled it away.
Thank you for the update. Please let us know if you spot it again.
