Well he really isn’t supposed to be there …

Abandon ship: S.J. fears bill to come due

Last February, I noted with delight the arrival at Herman and Helen's Marina of the MV Aurora, an imposing, 293-foot, pocket cruise ship unique to the Delta.

Nor his rag tag buddies tied up

That thing has been up in the delta for years he will never finish it.

I don’t think the boat in the video is the boat at the delta

I didn't watch the video just saw the picture and it looked the same to me.

Thanks for posting this. It’s a total shame what happened to Herman and Helen’s. Both prior to this mess getting there and after

Some current pics from Thursday 4/28 afternoon. The scow side tied to the Aurora has gone down, I’m assuming it’s on the bottom. 2nd pic you can just make out the stern. Don’t see any action from any services to mitigate any possible spill or contamination but unfortunately that’s typical in the Delta. Where the F are the Libby’s with their asses on fire??? This is pretty much why illegal mooring is such a problem, tax-payers reach deeper into your pocket to salvage this crap!
