The sad demise of Ensign 796

[Commander227]

Last week's winds took their toll around the lake including poor Ensign #796. She came off her mooring ball after sawing through two new 1/2" three strand painters which were properly routed through the chocks. The sustained winds wre 35 mph for two days with tons of gusts in the 50s and some tickling 60. We had to wait a couple of days for it to calm down enough to recover the boat. the owner loved the boat and is just sick about it.
