Ouch... that's sad..

The article said there was at least a million in damages, I kinda chuckled at that. If it destroyed 350 boats I would bet that number is closer to 17-20 million...

Looks like they're saying 24 million. Ouch.

Yep. Ouch is right. We had our first boat there for a few months before we got something to tow it. It was not a cheap place. I think we paid just under $200 a month for the luxury of parking the car and the boat with keys in the ignition waiting for us. When we were done, we threw the keys back at them and they put it away. We did it only a couple of months just for the convenience.

I think the Million only covered the boatel, further down an update estimated 27 million
