Update on the 35' grounded sailing vessel (HA 7378 A) from Friday night.  The owner who is employed by the USCG, has Progressive Insurance and has secured Parker Marine to remove the vessel from the ocean waters.  The vessel's starboard side is completely caved in and the keel broke off in a 10' hole surrounded by jagged rocks.  The vessel has now moved all the way in the surf zone with the landmark being the middle of Sand Island park.  subject and I were able to go all the way to the end of the keehi waters past the fishing village and, we could barely see it in the surf.  Once the owner has signed a contract with Parker Marine, they will start the removal.
