Last night about 8pm, we had a 35' catamaran (HA 7792 E) ground on the beach near Barber's Point Beach Park.  The vessel was on the rocks last night but has made it's way onto the beach.  There is a 5' hole in one of the hulls of the vessel, and there is a bunch of debris that is sitting on the beach and in the water near the shoreline.  The owner has been mooring without a permit at the Keehi SBH and had left the harbor sometime in the beginning of May.  He does not have any insurance on the vessel. There is no leaking of oil or fuel at this time. USCG is on scene from last night.  They have spoken to the owner and he tried to work with Vessel Assist to remove the vessel, but the owner does not have any money to pay for the removal.  Subject went out to assess the situation this morning and said that the vessel is completely destroyed.  My letter gives him until 8pm on Sunday night to remove the vessel.  I have also attempted to contact the owner, but he has not returned my calls.  We will start getting quotes from contractors today in preparation for us to remove the vessel starting on Monday, May 14, 2012. subject will be securing any items that may be floating around the vessel and tying lines on the vessel so that the vessel does not move back out to sea during a high tide.  I will continue to make attempts to reach the owner throughout today. I'll update as necessary.
