Removing ghosting from a single long exposure

I have a single long exposure of two boats on a lake. It was windy and the white boat on the left is ghosted in the grass behind it. What is the best procedure to remove the ghosting?

Thanks

    If you're doing that type of shot again, take two: one long and one short. Then you can replace the moving object with the one from the shorter exposure.

    Agreed. That's the problem with Photoshop - people start fixing things that don't need fixing Perfectly fine shot, leave it alone.

    I looked closely at your image at 100% zoom and I don't see an issue. Looking very hard at the tail there might be a slight ghost but only because you asked us to look for it. Whilst you could start to clone, it is a nice image as it stands. I would leave it alone.
