That sucks. We had a marina fire back in 2003 and it destroyed 55 boats. Two of them were my brothers... A 40' Post SF and his Trojan F32.

Always on my mind, the potential hazards of boats in a marina.

That's a shame. I'd be curious to find out what the cause was. Please pass along if anyone finds out.

I'm hoping to hear something on the local news fairly soon. They did say that there were approximately 75 boats in the building and a hand full of classic cars.

Very sad.
