There was a 23' sailing vessel that grounded in Pokai Bay sometime on Saturday night. USCG called me on Sunday to inform me of the situation.  The vessel, HA 0934 C, was illegally moored at the Waianae SBH as there was a possible sale of the vessel a long time ago.  We are posting the notice addressed to the last known registered owner of the vessel.  Someone else apparently took the vessel for a joy ride from the harbor and grounded it.  There is no insurance on the vessel. There is no pollutants on board but I will be issuing out a request to all contractors to provide us with a  bid to remove the vessel.  If the vessel stays where it is, and the surf gets larger, it will break up and cause debris to come to shore and endanger the public. 8/21/12- Vessel was removed by harbor staff this morning.  The vessel is sitting in our lot in the Waianae SBH.
