I wonder how many yacht-unmoorings they have had at that port in the last few years.
Umm, one, maybe?
Any chance it might have been done under cover of darkness by some Antifa-style RESIST thugs? People who figure that since they have convinced themselves that Trump officials are pure evil, it's OK to harass and attack them, damage and destroy their property any time, any place, as much as they can get away with?
The police aren't saying, and say they can't comment on an ongoing investigation.

Betsy DeVos' $40 Million Yacht Set Adrift By Vandals At Ohio Dock

A $40 million yacht owned by the family of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was set adrift by vandals at a dock in Ohio last weekend, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to the vessel, according to the Toledo Blade.
The SeaQuest’s captain said his crew awoke Sunday to find the boat had been untied from its mooring at the Huron Boat Basin and was floating away, according to a police report obtained by HuffPost.
The crew was “able to gain control of the ship, but not before it struck the dock with its Starboard forward section,” the police report stated. Damage to the yacht consisted of “several large scratches and scrapes,” which the captain estimated would cost between $5,000 and $10,000 to repair, according to the police report.
Huron City Police Chief Robert Lippert confirmed to HuffPost that the yacht belonged to the DeVos family. He said DeVos had not been aboard at the time, but could not confirm whether other family members had been. Lippert would not speculate on a potential motive, citing the ongoing investigation.
