hard aground! (no, not me!)
sitting at the dock today...saw towboat pulling in a massive 35'
silverton. thing has twin engines so it's not an engine problem...and the bay here runs out of water immediately when you leave the channel. in fact, i can walk to the channel from the beach without getting my knees wet at low tide they put it on the lift and i stroll over. sure enough, both rudders are bent to ****. prop edges also bent up. they put gauges on the shafts and they're also twisted. looks like a bad day for him and his insurance company... |

I'm thinking there should be something about "karma' and 'poetic justice' , but eh... sometimes crap happens. But regardless, it ruined their day[s] |
