Safety
Our boat was vandalized at our marina last winter during the Christmas to New Years week. Our marina is not gated, but the gated ones seem to be open in the wintertime anyway. Someone, probably a kid according to police, broke the hasp off the hatch cover to gain access, then tried to crowbar our easy-out stereo out of the nav station bulkhead. They got it out, but crushed it, and left it for us to find. Gee, guys, thanks a lot! Then they stole our tools, so they probably broke into the next boat using our hacksaw! We had shrink-wrapped last year, so there was no snow damage from the open hatch. There was, however, to another boat broken into that wasn't covered. Not much though as I understand it since it never got warm enough for the snow to melt before marina personnel got to it. Anyway, I feel like someone else mentioned earlier -- if they want in, they're going to get in -- to my house, my car, my boat.....Chris Bloors/v Great Escape IIIC-42 #372
