Centerboard No Help

Many boats strewn around this area.

s/v NIMBUS

If you needed confirmation that full-keeled cruisers are safer... NIMBUS had no hull damage that I could see.

Death of a Sailboat

Look closely at the sloop to the left of the picture. The owner's legs and a genset are visible. The forward section of the boat is on a trailer. It took the owner about 30 minutes to cut the stern off with his sawzall... and drive away.

Tree Huggers

Several trees became gathering points for many boats.

Tree Huggers 2

It's amazing how the rigging becomes one with the branches....
