It's off Bayview and Oakland.
We saw the neihbors our there when they returned. The husband was on the phone screaming at someone. I told the wife I tried to let them know in the middle of the night. She said it's not our boat "we're not that stupid".
Appently they are renting the dock out. I'm not sure what she meant by "we're not that stupid" but i took it as she meant you have to be stupid to own a boat.

I bet there is some serious damage to the dock. It is awful to see that, I wonder if the shore power was not sufficient, or turned off, Batteries can keep up for a while, but they drain pretty quickly with all four bilges running, hopefully the enviornmental guys are not too hard on the owner, but I have a feeling the officers that stopped by left the bill with the home owner and let him sort out the the rest. bad deal all the way around. I guess the same question would apply if you had renters in your home and it burns down, who is responsible for the clean up? renters or owners?

Well, today they finally removed the tender off the bow. Apperently, what they didn't realize was the tender was actually keeping the boat floating at the level it was. It was acting as a life jacket. Once the tender was released, the boat dropped quite a bit. It ripped the dock apart pretty good where the boat was tied. The piling wither broke or ripped out.
The big boat is still under water for the 5th day. What a shame! What could have proabably been saved with a buch of work is quickly turning to garbage!
