[Rhodes22-list] Washington Sailing Marina

[KUHN, LELAND]

Rummy,

So sad for the owner.  You must have some awfully clean water.  After
being submerged for nine months her hull looks cleaner than mine.

Stan,
I've been wondering about this ever since it was posted that the boats
went 
 down. The only thing that makes sense to me is that this is a shallow 
marina and  the storm pushed the water out, allowing the boats to reach
the 
bottom. Boats  without positive flotation didn't have a chance and
probably 
filled with water  as the water came back in. The Rhodes had the best
chance of 
survivability  because of the flotation. It was probably filled with
water 
and mud, but still  floating as the water returned.
Several sailboats were laid over on Lake Hartwell when the water went
down  
faster than the owners could move them. When the water level came back
up, 
many  of these boats simply filled with water and laid on the bottom
waiting 
for  someone to raise them. Attached is a photo of a San Juan 25 that
was 
raised  recently. It sat on the bottom for about nine months before the
owner 
had her  raised.
 
Rummy

Dave,

I have not had a clear picture of what  happened.   Were all boats 
completely 
under water or were parts  of the decks (other than the masts) still
above 
water  level?
