Boats and docks are all kinds of messed up. Just to numerous to post. My boat came through ok. Just a bit of messed up canvas. Attached is what a 32 ft cruiser ended up. First it parked it self with the current going one way, then slid on out to the bay when the current went the other way. And I mean a current that was at least 12 knots.

Did it go from sinking stern first at the dock to floating up right in the bay. Is this the same boat?

Think this vessel was mored east of Brooks Bridge before breaking lose. Note the black fenders in the rack on the picture where she's floating. The boat must have been breached when she came lose, going stern to the current and waves off the bay. Pretty much that was the end of the story. When the current switched she bobbed back out towards the bay. Just a bunch of half sunk stuff floating around.
