While moored on Hayden Island, the Alert and the Sakarissa were part of a growing homeless encampment, called the "Pirates of the Columbia", due to criminal activity along the coast.
The 2 boats were heavily damaged by graffiti and stripped of parts.
On the night of October 31, 2021, the Alert and the Sakarissa sank at their mooring on Hayden Island.
