well went to check on my boat at the end of so-called Hurricane Irene and she stood tall against the storm, but this is my luck we are talking about so out of all the boats docked around me, out of all the locations there is in the canal, a half submerged larger derelict boat decides to drift into my boat, ride under my hull while still in motion and crash into the dock I am at.... my boat looks fine but I checked it in the bad weather from a distance due to the damage on the dock. Before I got there the police towed the derelict boat from under mine and laid her up on the other side of the canal. Now I can look at that tub knowing somewhere I had an Angel looking out for me and luck was on my side.... lol. Today I will go check my boat out further and under a fine tooth and comb to confirm none or any damages but she is still a float so no matter what it could have been a lot worse....

Here is the boat when the storm was ending and after the other boat was towed out... if you look you can see some of the wood around my boat that use to be part of the dock... lol

Here is a few pics of the derelict boat after the police towed her out and tied her up across the canal.
