It would be good for the group if you guys agreed to knock it off with
that kind of BS. 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.

They make some very big boat lifts these days. 50 to 60 ft is not
unusual around here but you need a lot of pilings, heavy cables,
multi-part purchases, and a decently sized motor on each corner.

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?
