steveM, was the photo taken after it was too late? Looks like the tyre marks in the sand have softened while footprints are sharp - I wonder if the deed has already been done. The boat looks a little bit squinty on the trailer - could be it had moved about a bit before resting following a falling tide.

The guy that wrote the tweet said he offered to help the driver but he declined. Don't any more about it, sry, except that the tweeter lives around Exeter way if that helps.

Ah well, we will either have someone tell us what happened or it will go down as one of life's mysteries. Looks potentially expensive though.
