A small watercraft was found adrift in close to shore on Long Island. Provide a complete description to claim it. Marine Patrol will be notified also.

I hate to say, "There oughta be a law", but labeling kayaks, SUP, etc. with an emergency (third party) phone number would help determine if it blew off the dock, was stolen, or worst case, somebody fell off and is drifting around the lake, unable to get to shore.

Hi, my blue & white paddleboat drifted off my mooring near Ambrose Cove Marina in Moultonboro Bay. Wondering if this is it. Thanks in advance, Bill D

Check the I Boat on Lake Winnipesaukee Facebook page. Someone on the NW side of Mark Island found a blue and white paddle boat. They also reported it to Marine Patrol.

From Ambrose Cove to NW Mark Isl? That's quite a distance and tortuous path for anything to "drift." I suppose Mark isn't necessarily where the craft was encountered adrift. For anyone wondering, the watercraft I found/returned to owner was a different type.

Yeah, I didn’t think it would be the right boat, but just in case.
