Many of those boats were anchored in the cove bow out with a stern line to the shore. Anchors broke free and ended up crunching the ones on the beach. The water went from glass to 4ft swells in minutes. Heard there were a few injuries. One guy had to be taken away by EMS when the boat he was holding came down in a trough and his foot got caught between the outdrive skeg and the bottom.
Glad I wasn't out there wrangling boats with the only light coming from lightning strikes:eek: |

Have to agree with this one. Far better off under power in deep water away from other boats. The waves really aren't very big compared to the great lakes.
Still can't figure out why everyone beaches their boats that way out here. It would be much easier to get on/off bow out with anchors off the bow and stern. Probably would have prevented a lot of damage in this senario, too. When the storms kick up we always go run instead of parking in Havasu, they never last more than 3-4 hours anyhow..... |
Damn !!! Thats a shame. Hope no one got hurt
