Aloha all,  I got called by the USCG last night at 10pm in regards to a 32' grounded vessel, "SEA LORD", HA 3886 D.   According to the USCG, no one was found on board, but the real owner - (not the registered owner ) was found on the side of the road, drunk, by HPD.  The USCG was trying to talk to him last night to see if he was on the vessel when it grounded.  Operator apparently told HPD that he was on the vessel when it grounded.  
subject and I took the jet ski out to the site this morning as it is extremely shallow.  The vessel is right out from the tip of the end of the BMX track in Keehi Ocean waters.  The vessel's bow is facing the shore and it is sitting on it's starboard side.  There is an anchor line out and since it is low tide, the vessel isn't moving even though there are a few waves that are hitting it.  I contacted subject2, who just happens to be working out here transplanting coral this morning so we will take him out to check out the area.  I have tried calling the registered owner and the other person who we know to be the real owner but I was unable to reach them. The real owner Operator transferred the vessel into the registrant’s name  because he owes us more than $4k in mooring without permit fees.   I do not know how much diesel was on board the vessel, but I will check with the USCG this morning as they are sending a crew out to inspect the vessel.  I am in the process of giving the owner 24 hours to remove the vessel, per HRS 200-47.5, and once I get confirmation of coral from DAR.  I will be working on getting a bid from Sea Engineering to remove the vessel immediately after the 24 hours runs out.   I shall keep you all update. Thanks.
