Right, which one of you was it?!

Who sank our boat that we bough last summer?!

Got a call from my father early this morning that we had to leave ASAP to this shore/boat park thingy where we keep our boat during the week when we're not at our summer cottage. As we got there, what did we see? Our boat, half-sunken!

There's been some pretty heavy winds the past few days here and it seems the ropes keeping the pier still had snapped and the boat had gotten loose, smashing to the rocks in the shore. A gaping hole in the bottom.

Hmm, I wonder how much tonnage the rock got credited with...

This is how it really happened but Dowly ain't telling his folks!

I reckon it was that cousin (Hobbit) of yours....probably been out on the lash the night before :rotfl:

The tug has arrived to pull the striken vessel from the rocks.

That 'hobbit' is our last hope if we want to go to our SC this summer, he owns the last working boat there. Oh... wait... now I got it! This a plot! He sank our boat and now starts to rent his boat to us!

That bastard.

Just came from my mother's place, damn, she's a wreck over this. I know, it's "just a boat", but it's a bit more to her than that. This was our first own boat (we used my grandpa's boat 'till last summer) and she was really proud of it, so understandably she's not in high moods over this.

And to top things, she's still paying back the loan she had to take to buy the boat, so no matter what insurance gives us, it's really nothing to be glad about as that money will go to paying back the loan... for a boat that is virtually unrepairable.
