No idea how or where this happened but oops

Wonder how long it took before he ran out of a dry place to go to. And did he think about or have time to get a life jacket.
Looks like it might be an Europe boat, helm is on the port side. Wonder if the under water part is as pretty as the out of the water part is.

I read your post and at first I generally agreed. But watching the video imaging on the news and ALL those boats…….I began to ask myself…..”To where?”

I’ll bet most of those boat owners don’t have a trailer or vehicle to tow it. How many marina’s have hundreds of transient slips waiting to accept evacuees? I’ll bet none. My guess is they are left there cuz there’s no place to go.

What impresses me the most is the strength of Fiberglas. Did you guys see the large boats sitting on only the floating dock pillars? Amazing. How about those cruisers stuck in-between 5 story condo buildings. They are literally parked in the parking lot.

How long will it take for these boats to come to market?

Hurricane damage/flooding/repair is why I would never buy a boat out of the deep south like Florida or the Carolinas. Sure, the hull and cosmetic stuff can be repaired to a great degree but I'd think you'd have to at minimum, replace every bit of the electrical system because you would never be able to trust it. Corrosion is insidieous. It may not be a problem that would be detectable immediately but it could present some time down the road and leave you stranded somewhere. No thanks.

How could you ever think you'd fit under that bridge.

Where's the captain? Who's driving it?

 

[Denny]

He probable jumped ship before she hit. Lol
There are boaters and then there are people that have the money to buy one.

Well well well. Guess they will be there for awhile.

I can not handle these kind of sandbar parties. The scenery is nice but 500 boats all playing different music as loud as possible- Big time NOPE.

Crazy.Maybe when I was young and...where is that?

 

[SST]

I would probably visit this once or twice. But the huge amount of boaters would make me concerned for the safe operation of my own boat. And, how many boaters do you think have a toilet…..onboard?

I agree, not for me. But they do make for good pics.

Perhaps you are referring to something like this? Just one boat out of many?

:LMBO:
Those are always good but .... I was referring to the arial shots with all the boats in the tie ups.

The girl on the right. I hate those fake butts.

I was questioning the authenticity as well.
