    Just thought I would post this here as this poor boat may have come from the city side of the bay.

    There is a boat run aground at Rinville Point since at least Friday. Just wondering if anyone is looking for it.

    I was told by 2 people on Friday that they had phoned the authorities. I was at the point this morning and thought it had been moved over the weekend as I could not spot it at first. Unfortunately she has sunk.

    I hope images attached can be opened.

    Has it actually sunk or are those pics just taken at low and high tide?

    In the second picture you can only see the mast .
    The rest of the boat is under water

    definitely a difference in water level alright. If you mean that it was only so visible on Friday due to low tide you could be right.
