Boating Oops

Don't you just love how honest and above board the internet is.

Rough day for someone at Ramp at lake Monroe Bloomington IN

 

[Phillbo]

Obviously forgot to install the plug. Mine never comes out.

That’s terrible

One year to repair but it will never ever be the same as before the mishap. The extremely low waters out there will lead to more accidents like this one. Sad but boating of any kind there seems unsafe at this point.

I guess that all the old charts have very little meaning now.
And with all the yearly changes it is going to be very hard to publish new ones.
How sad is that.

Water levels really don't matter. Lake Powell always has obstacles that need to be avoided even at full pool.. Someone was not paying attention.

 

[SST]

look at all those obstacles. I wonder where the launch use to be. ??

 

[Doc]

Another sad event. Lake Cumberland KY: LOCALIZED SEVERE WEATHER EVENT. A micro-burst from an incoming storm, with straight line winds sustained long enough to do this damage.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: No one was injured.

Ooops! I was Not familiar with "Salt Life", New Smyrna, Ponce Inlet Christmas 2020... how fast the tide changes!

 

[Doc]

Years ago I had the family with me at the New Smyrna beach. Tide slipped in on us. I had a van on the beach, we barely made it up the ramp to get off the beach.

Love being able to drive on the beach. Heading back to New Smyrna later this year.

I love the area. Just south of Daytona. In fact that's where Tow Boat US came from to tow me off the sand bar. Lucky I had Boat US or it was $975. Covered 3 years of dues!

Low bridge...

But how? I literally don’t understand how someone can do this…..

 

[Doc]

Oops Chit Happens.

 

[Denny]

That is one serious accident, and it is not even boating related!

True. But the boat was on the trailer and damaged in the accident so ...I posted it.

This proves that having an extra strap on the bow eye to hold the boat and keep it from going forward is needed. I have the typical winch strap holding the boat in place but I also have a chain hooked to the eye as well. These photos always remind me of my near collision with teenagers while driving the Bronco. If not for the chain my boat would surely come through the back window although bunks would have slowed it down. Get the chain.

I'll 2nd that. I agree 110%.
