"Vessel sustained heavy damage when hit by a rogue wave leaving the
inlet. The hard top and framing has broken welds. The dash was dislodged
and the helm console is separated from the dash cabinet. The front
superstructure is fractured at the deck. The port side hull has some
fracutres. The anchor hatch has a fracture as well. All deck hatches
were torn away. The windshield frame and side glasses will need
replacement. There is a bow thruster and the generator is powered by
diesel fuel, and is reported to be locked. The two outboard motors do
run (see photos), and did run under its own power back to its berth
after incident.

A 2' rogue wave, no doubt. *:)
How's your 36' Zimmerman like lobster boat handle those? I know you
see this post, remember, you don't have anybody filtered now!
It's great, my young southern belle Dr. Dr. wife and I just had Joe
Biden aboard for the weekend. We're old friends. I'd really like to post
some pictures so you all would finally believe me, but I just don't have
any, gosh darn it. Although I'm a VERY good photographer, so good in
fact that the magazines that I work for never have to photoshop anything
I do, I just haven't seemed to take any pictures of the lobsta boat. I
can show you a picture of my Parker though. Or my septic tank, or my
cat, or my printer.
