Surely we could all find something more interesting to post here. Anyone have any good pictures or boating stories? We had a little excitement here in the neighborhood yesterday. One of the cables on a neighbors boat lift snapped, dropping the bow of his 34 ft Regal express cruiser into the water and doing some damage to the bow pulpit. Haven't heard the post mortem yet on what caused the failure. Both the boat and lift are about 5 or 6 years old so age is not likely the reason, more likely a corroded sheave but that's just speculation on my part. |

That's as bummer, Wayne. a 34'r on a lift? How long did it sit that way and I wonder how much water got into the cabin? Seeing that it tipped in Salt water, I imagine several items are compromised and may take some major work. |

I don't think the hull of my neighbors boat was compromised since it was floating OK today while they worked on the lift, haven't been over yet to check it out in detail. If you look on Google Earth it's the one across the canal and three houses to the left (west). |

I suppose I'm asking how much sea water seeped into the forward, if any? |
