Salvage!

The owner of an abandoned boat told Christa we could have it if we could free it from its approaching doom.
The boat dragged anchor in a storm in 2012 and drifted way up a local creek. 
The wind has been blowing from the NE and filling up the sound.
Christa and I checked out the boat today.  It is salvageable.  It is floating.  This high water helps.  It is swinging around on it's keel. 
It looks like it was broken into at one point and stripped of some interior fixtures.  It was left open and has about 6 inches of water in it.

Tomorrow afternoon I am going to pump it out and hopefully tow it to a slip we have near the bridge.  I think our little skiff can do it.
