Anyone missing a boat?

[Oakie Drifter]

Yesterday, while taking a leisurely cruise on the Columbia, above Bonneville dam, I noticed about a 18ft boat going down the river with no one in it
It was very close to the point of no return, where boats are not allowed, when I spotted it. We tried to see if anyone was missing or looking for one but nobody was around. Soooo, we decided that it was too dangerous by this time to go get it ourselves as it was now past the deadline. Goodbye boat! CRUNCH, CHOMP, the dam eats again!

Don't they have a debris boom above the Dam, Oakie Drifter? If so maybe the boat didn't get eaten. I wonder if the owner gets on ifish? Bummer! The bend is your friend!

Maybe the guy fell out and is missing. Why don't you report it to the Coast Guard? Just a thought!
