It’s the perfect boat in the perfect port with the perfect name — Enchantress, says Bill Mitchell.

However, the Washington State Department of Ecology has not changed its Aug. 15 deadline for Mitchell and other members of his Save Our Shipwreck group to come up with a plan to get the derelict vessel out of Fidalgo Bay.

Ecology wants the boat removed because it risks contaminating the bay with leaching materials such as lead, asbestos, oil, tin and mercury.

yep....time to clean up that mess and the area around it also as its been an Anacortes eyesore for way too long

Thanks to the new owner of the waterfront, North Harbor Diesel & Yacht, for his effort in finally cleaning up and restoring the shore side area
