An old boat sinks twice in the same year!

I would hope marinas ask owners for their proof of insurance every year.

There's too much at stake having uninsured boats hanging out.

Here near Nashville this morning 3 boats went up in flames...... the one that started it was occupied ...... the cause has not been reported.

I missed that. What marina?

Drakes Creek Marina in Hendersonville.

Totally missed it. The marina is on the same lake I am. I will see what I can find out.

The "news" reports certainly did not have any info.

That's because it didn't give them a way to bash the President of our country.

Sadly, I’ve seen the president bashed in less appropriate news items. LOL

Yes it was painful to watch the election returns and puzzling at how many would cast their vote for a man with no message bought and paid for by millions and millions of dollars from outside my beautiful state of Texas , but in spite of their best efforts , we stayed red . I wish people would just look to the past (and present)to understand how socialism has destroyed so many and so much .Ask a young college student about it and you may get a confused stare followed by some bs they overheard on CNN or from the pie hole of Rachel Maddow ! To me ,it's not that different from pseudo-intellectual behavior from the 60's! At least back then they could say a few intelligent things now its straight to name calling . It will not begin to change until history itself is taught as it happened rather than how some wished it had happened and impart this knowledge to the young. It's hard to be conservative but it's done alright by me and God willing , will prevail . God Bless Texas!

So someone pays slip fees to grow weeds on their outdrive?

Problem is the local government marina managers don’t have the money allocated to remove and destroy these derelicts. Occasionally the state coughs up grant money. Last year they got $30,000, brought in a barge and crane rig and crunched up three boats! $10,000 each. How does that grab ya?
The dump charges $100 each boat to take there but marina personnel aren’t qualified and they don’t have a trailer. I offered yacht club assets to help but was turned down due to optics!!!!
