I hijacked this photo link from a boat owner who posted it on another forum.
One of the shed roofs at the Georgetown Yacht Basin on the Sassafras river collapsed under the extreme snow load Wednesday. What a mess.

That's HORRIBLE !!! I used to do a lot of work there with a different company.
If you click on the picture in this link, you'll see the pictures of the same thing that happened at our marine Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbour.

WOW, that's a 10X bigger deal than Georgetown. Those slips were filled with many very nice boats and several are customers of mine. Several of them never even got a call from BBYH.

I would tend to believe the Georgetown colapse took out the bigger boats. I ride past there occasionally. It really flattened the whoe dock. Neither is a good situation. Hope everyone's insurance is paid up.
