Is This Your Boat? Navy Again Asks People to Retrieve Abandoned Boats

Is this your boat? How about any of the more than a dozen boats that have washed up on Naval Base Coronado this winter?

The U.S. Navy says recent winter storms are dumping abandoned boats on their bases and the agency is again asking boat owners to remove them.

Navy public affairs officer Sandy Duchac says each time the Navy has to remove a boat from their base -- which can in some cases take weeks -- it costs San Diego taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars.

The procedure is also a disruption to the Navy's daily operations.
