Howdy: Just got home.....took pictures of a sunk driftboat.....must have happened Saturday afternoon.....cause it wasn't there during the week. Up from the the old Satsop bridge and down past the "big block" below Cemetery Hole. If the owners read this, it'd be easy to get out???? Some long rope, to pull from gravel bar side.....4-5 guys to break it free, would swing right over to the gravel bar side. Turn it over, get water out, row to launch......I'd not wait to long......maybe rain coming.....boat looks fine from what I could see......If you need help....ask and I'll help out.......360-580-6996 cell phone....

That would be my take on what happened.......picked the wrong "slot"....that is a scary 20 yards...and it changes from 1 high water to the next........1st time I run up it a week ago........got my "butt cheeks tight".....

If the boat owner didnt want the public to know about it, its too late now.

What a bummer... good to hear everyone is ok though.
Hopefully the guy will be able to get his boat back.

Hope everyone is OK and good on DrifterWa for offering to help. Having something like this must be pretty frightening but it probably helps when others offer to help you out.

I heard from Dave today. No mention of sinking his boat. He did mention some fish caught Sat. though. . . . .

Wasn't Dave.................as far as I know anyway. I thought that too, but it looks too light to be Daves boat.

Talked to the owner today as I was taking out. They tried to get it out this afternoon but weren't successfull. I guess it shifted since the above picture and is now wedged against a log that is making recovery difficult.
He said he took the wrong braid and got up against a log and it went down fast. Everydody was ok, but they lost some gear in addition to the boat.

This must have happened right after i left...I did see a Clacker Craft go down the wrong channel and they made it down fine.
You can get that boat out with little effort.

Sorry, but there aren't "salvage rights" in fresh water. The boat remains the property and the responsibility of the owner. Oceans are a different story, but even there, keep your maritime attorney close by.
