The five stolen outboard motors have been recovered by the police and will be returned to us, we hope, by the weekend! Thanks for all the wonderful support. Thanks to SFPD for their good work! BAADS still sustained pretty serious damage to its Whaler, and putting the motor back on the Whaler is going to be serious work, but we are very grateful that the motors are recovered. You can still donate (because BAADS still needs the support to make these important repairs). To donate, go to our donation page or send a check payable to BAADS to Pier 40, the Embarcadero, Suite 16, San Francisco, CA 94107. Thank you!
