Oh wow. What a shame. Hopefully good insurance will help alleviate the pain of those boat owners. Tough to look at those hulls on fire. :cry:

Oh man. Oh man. I think I would brave that blaze to save Queenie.

Honestly, If your boat is in there can you even watch? I'd probably drive straight to Geico HQ and just wait quietly.

Heck, most of them are probably happy. Most will get a new boat out of this.

Yeah but a chunk of the season is lost too. I'm certain there are a few "Mint Condition" boats that went up with some pleased owners.

Also the guy that started it - He has to move. Quit his job and start over somewhere else.
