12 April, comment and picture from Facebook "I was down at the Port of Redwood City for the first time in quite a while, yesterday. Yup, there's Sorcery, still sitting there. It's been ten? Fifteen?  GOD, has it been Twenty years she's been sitting there? I doubt she ever sails, but she's not quite landfill yet. She's still floating and still has a rig."
