DEALING WITH TWO HAZARDS-SINKING SHIPS AND RUDDERLESS EMPLOYEES

摘要

My in-laws live in Fort Myers, Fla., and over the holidays they took us on a boat ride through the Lee County waterways. I noticed several derelict boats floating in the bays and asked my father-in-law for the scoop. He said sometimes when boats have mechanical problems or quit working altogether, the owners drop them in the bays and leave them to sink instead of taking responsibility for them. I was shocked, but my own research into the Lee County boat graveyards confirmed it. An article published in November 2020 stated seven boats had been removed in the previous 45-day period alone.
