She won't get far

She's holed on both sides. The first time from when she blew ashore (back in early April, Easter weekend) and pounded on the rocks on the beach; and the second time, some weeks later when they tried to pull her off with some tugs and she turned around and her other side grinded on the rocks. Ferrocement doesn't take impact well.

Sad, because the owner evidently couldn't afford to put the boat in the nearby marina, and the weekend it blew ashore he was planning to move the boat and take it north. A day late (and a weak anchoring system). His son, now an adult, was born on board, so the boat has a lot of personal history in it.
