The local ranger gets his
sign. AS they are bringing the remains ashore, he says you can not do
that.
You do not have a permit to remove the boat.

Un-friggin-believable!

I spent a week at New Melones last summer... beautiful lake.

That sucks about your friends boat. I probably saw it, but there were a
lot of them.

Low transom boaters bewa

High winds! Talked to my buddy today. He had a houseboat at New Melones
Lake. Was a nice boat until Saturday. Something happened and either the
buoys got tangled or one broke loose and prevented his boat from swinging
with the wind. The wind hit it from the side and flipped the boat. This
is a 60' house boat. The house broke off the pontoons and the toons
ended up flipping. Took a crane to recover the boat. The local ranger
gets his sign. AS they are bringing the remains ashore, he says you can
not do that. You do not have a permit to remove the boat. A permit is
required everytime you remove or return the houseboat to the water. At
least his superior told him, forget it. Is an emergency and the
paperwork would be taken care of later. Now to see how much State Farm
pays off.




Was the one that made the local front page he said.
