Abandonment Resident Joseph Kokomo is continuing to make his requests to the Harbor Commission to do something about boats that pay for docking space at the harbor but fail to use their boats for years.
Kokomo was at this week’s commission meeting reiterating there are several boats docked at the harbor that are not seaworthy, some with inspection stickers indicating they have not been inspected since as early as 2007.`Some have no inspection stickers at all he said. He told the commissioners, as he had at last month’s meeting, he does not feel this is right and recommended the commission put a time limit on boaters for keeping their boats at the harbor and not using them, even if their space is paid. He said the boats appear abandoned and detract from the harbor looking vibrant.
Kokomo said some boats have three feet of water in them, but fell short of saying how he knew after Harbor Commission Chairman Tom Wall asked him how he knew.
Kokomo cited the amount of rain and snow the area has experienced and the fact boats only have a small pipe releasing water and he said no one is checking any of the boats for water content. The resident also suggested a surcharge and suggested some research to see if there is a problem and urged the commission to stay “on top of it.” People need to be more aware, he said, citing some boats that have had their masts blown in heavy winds for two years. He suggested boats display red flags if they are not sea worthy. Wall thanked him for his comments and suggestions.
As last month’s meeting, Wall had explained to Kokomo that boats are private property, regardless of their condition, and harbor employees have no right to trespass on that property.
Harbormaster Lou Fligor had reported there were 18 boats in the harbor that have been abandoned and the commission has been working with a new contractor in the past year and has successfully gotten ownership and the ability to remove them. This month he reported he had been able to acquire another seemingly abandoned boat and will be having that removed as well.

That did the trick. Of course, Mr. Quest said he was sorry, could he please send me the money to pay for it? Not yet, I responded, after we chatted on the phone. I’d rather wait until the mirror comes in, Mr. Trivett installs it and I get a bill. Works for me, Mr. Quest responded.Another week went by before the mirror, Bill Trivett and my car got together, making it now almost three weeks since the accident. I didn’t know where he lived, but I knew Mr. Quest was not local and did wonder, given all those times I called and had no response, would he still be as kind and thoughtful? That did the trick.
