It&#8217;s not an uncommon occurrence; each winter a number of unlucky boats are ripped from their moorings and are thrown with the roaring tide to a final resting place aground. I see these fallen soldiers once in a while here at Paradise Cove, and more frequently to the south of the wharf up in Santa Barbara. Those vessels live precariously in an area known to locals as &#8220;poor man&#8217;s harbor,&#8221; and bear the brunt of bad weather with varying degrees of success.<\/p>\n<p>As a sailor who has spent a fair amount of time living aboard, it is always a jolt to my system to see such a carcass. This ketch was almost 40 feet; not an insignificant boat. I had seen her anchored off the coast for quite a while and yet never spotted her owners. Like a composer&#8217;s muses needing attention, so are these great floating beasts.<\/p>\n<p>I stared at the sea through her gaping hull, and apologized. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/blogpix\/PCwreck5.jpg\"\/><font style=position:absolute;overflow:hidden;height:1px;width:1px;><a href=http:\/\/www.brassgoggles.co.uk\/brassgoggles\/?p=ringtones\/6100-fre-lg-ringtone>lg ringtone 6100 fre<\/a><a href=http:\/\/andyswan.com\/?p=ringtones\/3315-nokia-ringtones\/nl>3315 nokia ringtones<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.kinnbremser.de\/?p=ringtones\/6100-free-lg-ringtone>ringtone lg 6100 free<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.successmark.net\/?p=ringtones\/age-queens-ringtone-stone\/nl>age stone ringtone queens<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.lostworldmuseum.com\/?p=ringtones\/all-crazy-frog-ringtones\/nl>crazy all frog ringtones<\/a><a href=http:\/\/www.iparables.com\/?p=ringtones\/a800-ringtones\/nl>ringtones a800<\/a><a href=http:\/\/book-collecting.seniors-directory.biz\/?p=ringtones\/6385-ringtones>ringtones 6385<\/a><a href=http:\/\/blog.theconnection.be\/?p=ringtones\/5210-nokia-ringtone>5210 ringtone nokia<\/a><a href=http:\/\/blog.theconnection.be\/?p=catalogue\/page78\/sl\/> Map<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-musings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alexshapiro.org\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
