I heard that one of the boats has herpes. Check for barnacles, boys.

This story illustrates my quarrel with the Zen practice of treating all insults to your person and property as if they were caused by an empty boat.

I'm not going to just mutter, "Ah, only an empty boat," when someone rear-ends my car or robs my house, and let the matter go without casting blame on the malicious or careless person responsible. If I'm actually hit by an empty boat on the water, the correct response would be more like, "WTF, some farking moron couldn't be bothered to tie up his goddamn boat properly."

It's always somebody's fault. Usually somebody else's.

That happens pretty much any time you get a weirdly strong storm come through when the boats are still out.

If you're hit by an empty boat somewhere not on the water, I'd hope to hell it was someone else's fault. Otherwise, it's raining boats and the end of the world is nigh.

Not too uncommon with the strong Northeast winds. Monroe Harbor does not have sufficient breakwaters to protect the boats. Also, the number of damaged boats is lower than if this happened in the summer, the harbor closes Oct. 31.

Just makes me glad that our Catalina 30' is in the safe confines of the Saginaw Rivernon Lake Huron. But in all truth, the video did make me sad to see so many messed up sailboats. Why couldn't it have happened to the power boaters?

I worked at a yacht club on Lake Ontario for a few years. I was really surprised at the difference between the personalities of the average sailor and the typical power boater. Shame to see that happen to sailboats.
