Anyone missing a grady?

This thing washed up last night near our marina and cabin.

I always marvel at the number of boats that wash up every year on Cadboro Bay and Oak Bay beaches -- and others that sink at anchor. Often pretty tidy boats that people have trusted to a deficient anchoring setup. $100,000 boat and $100 worth of anchoring materials...

I once watched a brand new float home moored to a dock in a manner that even myself a layman in moorage knew was stupid and low and behold a few months later the windstorm of 2018 took it for a ride through the fueling dock and across the bay.

From Fb sounds like the owner was found and was trying to dig it out.

Not just boats that were moved in that wind, check out this huge boathouse that isn’t where it should be!

That's the 2nd time this year that grady has been on the beach. Round 2 looks like it was hard on it.

I haven't been up but if this thing is where I think it is, it will be hard to get an excavator onto that section of beach to pivot and haul it off. Tidal as well so they will need a super ring tow line. Any time a vessel has landed far up the beach in a storm, it takes ages to remove as they need to wait for another super high tide, and calm seas, to remove.

Those king tides are coming, but they’re often associated with strong winds. Barge on the beach was a good example.

That Grady has been lifted, well done!

If you can’t trailer your boat you need to be in a Marina . If not you can’t afford a boat….
