This ancient trimaran hung around the cove for ages mostly half sunk as you can see from the sludge mark on the ama. After it ended up on the beach some enterprising soul stripped it of all the bits that could be sold and then left it on the beach. Some one else decided it had to go but the previous owner had stuffed the amas with styrofoam in an attempt to keep it afloat. As a result it wouldn't sink and join the Belle in deeper water. So they towed it around to the weather side of the point and left it in shallow water next to the rocks hoping it would be broken up in a storm.
It survived pretty well for a long time then the starboard ama was broken off and the flock of lesser IQs began throwing rocks at it and in it.

When I took this photo there was a couple passing by, the female member took one look and said "I think not", Succinct and accurate.
This morning I took the dog for a walk down at the cove, it was high tide, raining hard and the wind out of the southeast at about 30 kts. The tri was bouncing up and down in the waves and bashing against the rocks. As I watched the forward part of the port ama broke off and drifted off down wind bouncing along the shore.
We'll see what's left tomorrow.
