Elaine Forbes was named the city manager of Sausalito, California three weeks ago.
Last week, she was placed on administrative leave for unspecified reasons.
On Saturday, she was arrested. She was on what is described as a “75-foot yacht” blowing the horn at 5:30 AM.
The yacht was not hers, and according to the owner, she did not have permission to be on board.
She allegedly explained to authorities she was having “a bad morning” and insisted they leave what she claimed was her boat.
…
Forbes’ family has since said she has been experiencing a “mental health crisis” and urged the public not to “rush to judgment” as more details emerge about the stunning incident.
Also:
…Aubrey said he later discovered a large bottle of Grey Goose vodka and a bottle of tequila, full the previous night, were empty.
I hope she gets the help she needs.

Shades of Jana Duty and Rosemary Lehmberg rolled into one…
It’s important to have neighboring captains perform a booze level check when you first break into a yacht so the police will have a more complete story in the morning.
By no means, however, should you get involved any further, like assuming that the random person on that yacht might not belong to the yacht, be the assigned yacht chick, or whatever, or heaven forbid, call police because no one is going to call them when a random unassigned yacht chick breaks into YOUR yacht. It’s just responsible management of the dwindling random yacht chick population.
Can we make either “RYC” (Random Yacht Chick) or “RBC” (Random Boat Chick) a thing?
