Sunken Sailboat

For years now there has been a sailboat from Oregon with the USA flag on it anchored near Playa Las Gatas. My husband and I just watched it sink into the bay this morning. I can only see the very top of the mast sticking out. Heartbreaking for the owner of the boat I’m sure. Curious how they will deal with that now that it has sunk, especially with the top of the boat still sticking out. Definitely a hazard.

It turns out the sailboat broke free from its anchor overnight, probably damaged its hull drifting over rocks, and I believe it was being towed towards the beach when it sank.
