* No, not me.
'It was a dark and stormy night' and this morning I woke to see this on the beach out in front of our house.
I head some thumping noises in the early hours and got up to look around the house but didn't notice anything. It must have been the yacht bumping ashore.
I notice on Neighbourly that others have seen and reported it.
It's not the first time that a boat has been grounded along our beach and it won't be the last.

Maybe I should take up salvage as a hobby.

OK. I think I'll reconsider
There was a lot of interest in the yacht today with people checking it out.
I watched a couple of guys closely as they seemed dodgy and I half expected them to reappear when it gets dark (there are valuable things aboard boats). I charged up my camera in case it was needed later to take photos of number plates and miscreants.
In the afternoon an official looking guy arrived and spent a lot of time replacing a mooring line, checking the hull and going out to the mooring where the yacht had broken free from. The tide is coming in now and the yacht will slowly right itself.
All good.
