This was at the Marriott marina. This is a high-end facility, and serious
hardware is slipped there. Fortunately the winds were calm, which limited
the spread of the fire.

That's awful.

We're going to see a lot of marinas get "daylighted" up this way, with
the roofs removed.
Several fires in local covered marinas recently have typically claimed
a dozen or more boats per incident and the cities are now demanding
that the marinas remove the covers from "covered" moorage or spend
$$$$$$ installing sprinkler systems.

No, I was at Shelter Cove Marina, which is on Shelter Island. The Marriott
is about 3.5 miles further east into San Diego Bay. It's a high-rent joint,
partly due to the amenities the hotel brings to the occupants.

I could not remember which place. Senior years are taking it's toll. Or
the brain is just filled up with useless facts.
