That really is painful to look at. But it's reassuring that everyone got off safely.

Maybe someone should advise the sheriff's office that the owner's gonna need more than just a high tide, especially with a squall approaching in the background. And this boat's not going to be sailing away even if it was to float free; the lower pintle appears to have been ripped free. And that little Minn Kota isn't going to be much help at all. Strange, it looks like the motor's mounted to the side of the rudder?

Like I said, painful to look at, but something about a wreck - just like on the highway - makes it difficult to resist.

The trouble with a destination - any destination, really - is that it interrupts The Journey.

Thank goodness the cockpit cushions are o.k. They're worth more than the trolling motor that got him onto that lee shore!
