These pics were all taken before I aquired the boat. There are two pics from the for sale ad that the former owner presumably found and bought from. I found the ad photos, ad having long since vanished, online and recognized the registration numbers so I downloaded them. I hope the former owner doesn't mind my sharing the photos of his family. One pic shows twice but photobucket suggests that if I delete any pics in an album the share link won't operate properly. I have more pics of this sailboat, Queen Anne's Revenge, buried somewhere in my computer but after hunting for over an hour I gave up. I'll look again soon. Notice the toerail damage starboard side. I doubt you can see the other marks, cosmetic in nature and no damage to the fiberglass or even the gelcoat, starboard or where the mast was ripped out of the deck by the storm in these photos. Close-ups are in the file I'm still looking for. I found a small puncture in the hull, smaller than a dime, below the waterline, aft of the v berth but fore of the salon area, near where the porta potty mounts but on the starboard side. This little sailboat narrowly survived a nasty tornado. It was eerie looking across the lake and seeing the path of destruction on both banks of land while the lake showed no signs that anything had ever occurred. The 2 story dock the sailboat was tied to flipped over. The pontoon boat and, I think, motorboat that were tied to the dock met a similar fate. By the time I arrived on the scene the salvage crew had already hauled off the carnage and my new sailboat, minus her mast, boom, step, and rigging but still afloat, was moored at a neighbor's dock. She had almost a foot of water belowdecks and I had no clue where it was coming from. We called for a tow to the nearest boat ramp and my love affair with my mistress began.
