wicking water running down hull

initially the damage didn\'t appear catastrophic until we saw the amount of exposed balsa core

the motor supported the stern through the slide... it was later damaged hauling up the wrecker

finally moved up on tires at the salvage yard awaiting auction (4-6 more weeks in the elements)

a month in a wet field waiting for the adjuster to make a call - he couldn\'t inspect it without lifting... so they totaled the boat

Road Rash courtesy Asphalt... lots of gelcoat and glass

Trailer and Truck are Totaled but boat looks repairable

a moment of distraction spelled the END followed by weeks of nightmare calls with wrecker, salvage yard, insurance companies) the policeman ironically crops the boat name...

Hey Colby, People plan… and God laughs. Best approach is what you said, be flexible and take it day at a time. Earlier this afternoon I spoke with Joel Clark at the Fort Louden dam. He said they are blocked by debris and have a tug trying to use prop wash to get it moving. He went on to say...

Mother Nature is always the Boss. If this leg turns out as not meant to be, We still have: the time and boat preps, the great fall season, and the desire. I personally haven’t traveled any leg of the Tennessee… open to alternate routes if this one’s too hairy but I will follow the leader...

Glad to see caution being exercised over scheduling. The locals have not seen this level of flooding historically. The debris in the water is impressive. Boat upgrades completed and I’m standing by for updates. Best Dale

Hey Guys... I just spoke with Ranger Matthew at the park. He said that he will be parking us in their gated lot (locked at night and closer to the watchman). I will be emailing him my truck/trailer info along with projected dates. Since I will likely be single handing, I won't be able to move...

Hi Colby and Rosanne, I’m planning on joining y’all from Guntersville to Knoxville. Still working out logistics of parking and crew. Liz will be along for part of the trip and possibly changing out with my brother at some point. I’m so ready for a break from our oppressive heat and humidity…...

Thanks Bob for the kind thoughts and for making a shareable link When the anchor arrived, I thought I had made a mistake… it was unwieldy. The guys at Mantus couldn’t have been nicer. They offered to send a 17 lb M2 or M1 - 25 and return anything I couldn’t use including their stop (which was...

Hi James... Hi Colby... nice to hear from y'all. (I don't do any social media and try not to sit in front of a computer as years of endless production work ruined my neck for that position). I finally completed the anchor upgrade and posted pics here last night...
