A large powerboat that’s been beached for months on Beer Can Island in the St. Croix River has drawn complaints, social media infamy and enough water that its rear is sinking.
It’s not clear when it will be removed, or by whom, even as the Hudson (Wis.) City Council last month responded by writing a new ordinance calling for fines of up to $1,000 per day for abandoned watercraft.
The skipper who beached the vessel earlier this summer said he’s been hounded by his Afton neighbors over it, enough that he plans to move out of state.
Grayson Talbot McNew, the boat’s listed owner, said this week that he recently sold the 54-foot Bluewater Intercoastal to someone; he declined to say who or what plans have been made for the boat’s removal.
