You've got me stumped, I can't think of any more tree puns!

 

Don't worry, we are all rooting for you.

 

 

What sort of tree was it ?

 

If the Ash is out before the Oak

we are in for a soak.

If the Oak is out before the Ash

Then we're in for a splash

 

So, were they 'splashed' or 'soaked' ?

Don't,  unless either they already have been and it's to stop them collapsing or your happy to repeat the process every 10yrs or so

We repeat the process about every 8 to 10 years :)

Have to be honest,if it was my boat which had been damaged  in what must have been a frightening experience-I don't think I would have been amused by the 'jokey' comments.

It's what people do when faced with a terrible experience (there but for the Grace of God), we make light of the 'thing' that's scary. I doubt very much any comment meant disrespect to the horrible experience the poor boaters went through. That said... I'm logging off now!

We bravely laugh at our own misfortune.

Rather bad taste to laugh at others don't you think?

I understand no one was hurt which is fortunate.

I hope the damage sustained was superficial.

It must have been terrifying,  nothing you can do even if you see it falling.

The damage sustained was anything but superficial. It was pictured on the news. The roof and cabin sides were crushed in about a foot Lower than they should have been. The boat will need major surgery.

You would need to check their log.

Typical, it doesn't take long before it becomes another toilet thread ?

Inclined to agree. I saw this on the news last night and was quite amazed to see the ammount of damage done to what looked like a very smart boat.

 

It looked as though it hit above a window which perhaps contributed to the ammount of deflection of the steel cabin and roof.

The boat shown on the news-clip I saw was one of the "No Problem"s, which a have been the subject of one of the better known blogs, (Sue used to post on here).  I think this s the second of the line, a former Black Prince hire boat, much modified. (they now have a wide beam "No Problem XL", I think, so no longer own this one).

 

The name is rather inappropriate now, of course.

That is correct.
