The owner of this vessel got into trouble Sunday afternoon in Ladner slough. According to reports from nearby residents who contacted the Optimist, the owner was trying to move the vessel from the Ladner Yacht Club, but got caught at low tide and ended up getting stuck in the mud on some pilings. Over the course of the next day or so the vessel began to tilt and take on water. The coast guard attended Monday morning, putting booms around it to prevent any fuel leaks. The vessel was eventually removed by a salvage company in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
