Default Fat Tri, bringing down the place

Since early this AM the water has dropped about 7 foot.Took Skipper for
his marina tour and there is a big tri here that is new to the marina.
This bone head tied up tight, using suicide knots, no springs and has
pulled two telephone pole size pilons down on his boat, one took out
his outboard and solar panel dingy davit combo, and the other cracked
the cockpit combing, the stern is hanging a few feet out of the water,
I was going to cut it down, but figured it might snap off the rudder,
better to just let him deal with the mess than risking him blaming me
for any damage.

One pilon is bent over like and fishing rod fighting a 100 pound bass.
Hate to be around when it goes cause it's going to be a chain reaction.

Bet the marina owner is going to be ****ed!

It was last night, I did not get any pictures. I may snap a few today.
About 2 ft of my bottom is showing right now. This mo. we have had a
12ft range of tides. Kindy creepy and un-natural sitting on the hard,
it's weird you look up at the dock thinking that your rocking, but the
docks not moving and it takes a while to adjust, like a backwards
motion sickness.. the winds slacked allot.... almost calm now... so the
water should return today. Found my air compressor on the bottom that
I lost in the flood, I thought it washed away. I can salvage the hose,
also found my big plastic owl, he's kinda cool with a coat of
barnnacles.

Joe

Cheers
Marty
