I kind of laughed at the article saying damages could reach a million dollars. We idle through there frequently, looking at boats that are way out of our means, and I'm pretty sure that dock had a Sea Ray 560, which is over half a million in itself. If it's the one I'm thinking of, there were also 2 Carver Yachts that were side by side. Lots of dollars there.

Makes you feel a little sick thinking that could be one of our boats.

WOW!  That is just crazy!  We had a fire in our marina about 4 years ago and I was lucky it stopped at the boat on my same finger pier.  Once that roof gets burning, they just all go!  Something to think about...

What?

I hate such a loss. What caught my eye is the headlines saying that the had issues with water supply. Maybe a high pressure pump for lake water is in the future budget.

What's left (before sinking) of a 31' Tiara last weekend on Lake Michigan.  No one hurt, fellow boater got all 5 off.
