A windsurfer was jogging by the rigging area about 7 AM on Friday morning.
There was a car and a sail in the parking lot. It was the 4.7 ezzy that had
been lost the day before. The woman said she wasn't from around here, and
was going to 'take the sail to her windsurfing friend in San Francisco and he
would know what to do'. She wouldn't give her phone number to the jogger,
but took the jogger's number and said she would call. She said that the
sail was on the beach and that someone else had found the board on the
rocks. The jogger didn't get the car # because it was a rental car.
There is a myth that if you find a boat abandoned that you can keep it.
Turns out that is NOT true. There was a very interesting article about that
maritime law in Latitude 38, April 1998, pg 154.
The people who have this stuff can be considered salvagers, and they can
submit a claim to the owner for salvage expenses.
If they don't do this, and attempt to sell or sail the stuff, I consider
them crooks, subject to arrest and jail. Just my opinion, might not be the
legal view. If I do see them at a swap meet, maybe we will get an opinion
from another source.
So I hope the woman and/or the windsurfing friend do the right thing, call
the number and get the stuff back to the owner.

There are not more rig separations, mast breaks, board breaks, etc at 3rd
than other places. They are just better advertised on this wind_talk list.
