Are you using mobile device or lap top? Mobile (Apple) just hold down on the image with your finger and it should ask if you want to save it. If on laptop should just be able to right click and "save as".

Holy smokes. You sure did take a pounding. I cringe to see your boat in such dismay. I have exact same boat and color scheme.

Thanks @Julian!

 

[Julian]

Here are a few I snapped from my balcony today of boats coming and going:

@Julian nice views from your balcony and like seeing the FSH there! What is that L-shaped bag/chair looking thing they are carrying on the FSH?

If you can keep the pics like that coming I can convince my wife we need to make this trip!

That is a marine bean bag maybe an Oceam Tamer. If you boat in bumpy water and have room they will save a marriage and more! My wife crossed with my in our Bimini trip that had 4-6' with 8' in May and she never felt a thing besides hearing the impacts and the slowing of the boat climbing the waves. The beans absorb 99% of the impacts and also make it great to lay on at the Sandbar

Very cool and can totally see how it could be a marriage saver

Thanks for the info @2nazt

Very lucky that you didn't get killed or paralyzed @swatski. It's a sobering pic. It really upsets me to think about what happened to you, but it is also makes one think of the higher powers that are in play that make this into a Holy SH!T story rather than a tragic one. Although there are many things for you to work out, I am so relieved that you and your girls are still with us today.

MORE MOAR!!!!

 

[Julian]

Were graciously invited to spend the evening with a fantastic couple on their 80' Lazzarra in the Bimini sands harbor! Great time and beautiful yacht!

Thank you for your concern, @MrMoose. I'm equally concerned for all in the same boat with this tower, including you. Please be careful. As Julian already pointed out, this is a bad design no longer used in the bigger towers.
My knobs are always tight, but some do not always check them out, so check carefully. I would also say the bimini structure/frame might have save my a$$, probably cushioned the blow, IDK, it was a bit surprising/confusing I admit. I posted some more info on the crossing here as well.

Its all good with @swatski crew:
