Major fire destroys entire boat yard and yacht club.

I guess that means slips will cost more on City Island.

Did the fire start on a Beneteau 35s5?

Default City Island Boat Yard Fire

It was started by a faulty DLP projector installation in the yacht house
during a viewing of the movie "Through Dead Eyes". Fortunately, the
sleeping camera operator was the only one in attendance and he escaped with
minor injuries. The fire quickly spread but would have been contained if
not for igniting the gas tank of a Subaru Tribeca. The ensuing fireball
enveloped surrounding boats in the yard. The communications equipment of the
fire department was jammed by defective hull moisture detector that was left
on by an unlicensed Marine Surveyor. One fireman suffered electrocution when
a portable defibrillator aboard a boat he was extinguishing was set off.
This one boat took several hours to extinguish due to the large amount of
XXXL nylon woman's undergarments and child pornography discovered aboard the
boat. Fireman commented that the flames would have been much worse if there
were actual sails aboard. Further down the line, a Pearson 28 exploded when
flames reached the Atomic 4 engine. When the nameplate of the Atomic 4
landed near the fire marshall, he picked it up and called in homeland
security. Boat yard fire fighting equipment was not stowed in its proper
place. Apparently, it had been used to create a mud wrestling pit for a low
grade titallation movie involving Russian women. The entire conflagration
was filmed by a crew from Skorpio Productions, who happened to be on site
filming a feature film for a high, but undislosed fee. A damage assessment
given by the unlicensed Marine Surveyor concluded, "The damage is estimated
to be worth about three times my coin collection but not quite as much as my
two Subarus and three rental apartments. The fire was quite tragic, but
Thomas squealed with surprise every time a fireball erupted."

It was probably that silly spinning color wheel motor. I'll never
understand why anyone would want a TV with a motor in it. Oh, maybe
they like the rainbow effects. He should have bought a Sony SRCD.

Yep Lloyd... your response/post is definitely a literary
classic for those of us that have followed Rob's alleged
accomplishments.

I'm still laughing...

Thanks

Lloyd,

Nutsy said it was just the YC. No boats were lost.
