OUCH!

I'm sure the pictures do pretty well sum it up, but just for the rest of us.....what happened....afterwards? Pretty sure those molds are unsinkable. Looks like National City in the background. I'm confused as to whose boat that is after reading Capt. George's comments. If you are text shy, you could post a photo of the owner either smiling or crying.

Good photos! Vertical certainly was a different angle in your viewfinder than you were expecting, huh. :O:wow:

Toneart,
A friend send me these in an e-mail just for fun. No idea who owns this vessel or where these pics were taken.
I had a boat in his marina in the Sacramento area. Had my ( major ) share of problems, which is the reason he send me those no doubt.
Still applies:
Greatest day in a boaters life is when he acquires his vessel to turn into the second greatest day when he gets rid of it.:P:P

I agree! I have experienced the first state (of bliss:?:)). ...Still haven't learned the lesson, but Neptune has a definite teaching methodology. .....Just a tad more coaxing and I will be entering the second state of blessed relief :bounce:.
