Oh NO! Came home to find this devastation after a cold front with high winds passed through. I'm considering it a total loss and will replace the entire vessel. Luckily no one was hurt!

High winds?...This could have been avoided if the main were properly reefed and a storm jib was used instead of the genoa.

We could laugh about the Hummer in the back ground.

Maybe that sea monster, lurking beneath the boat, dismasted it. It look pretty scarey!

Just a dab of 5200 will do. But it does smell little like fraud, the shadows are the same too.

Look at the dog in the photos. Looks very suspicious like he's getting ready to do some damage in the first photo and then moving away from the scene in the second.

You still have grass there? Winter still looks like winter here.

Damn, foiled again! Good eyes and deduction Dave. Actually the cabin came unglued and I popped it back on for the "before" pic :^)

And Chris, the grass is somewhat green because I have some trees that protect the grass a bit and I and some of my neighbors did the fall weed and feed thing (yep, we do that down here with St. Augustine grass)but we had the 2nd hardest freeze I've seen in 44 years - 24 degrees - a few weeks ago.
