This morning we had a devastating fire at our dock in Discovery Harbour Marina, starting just before 7:00 AM
Thankfully no one was injured.
There were three boats heavy impacted however. Two were totally destroyed and a third looks like it will probably be a write off.
Ron, the only one on board any of the boats, was able to get out safely and was taken to hospital as a precaution; he is now out and doing fine. The only reason he is alive is that he happened to get up to have a pee and saw flames coming out of his electrical panel. Got out wearing underwear and flipflops only. Into the pouring rain!
The first vessel to go up was gasoline powered so the fire department ordered those of us who were close to prep for evacuation in the event the fire escalated. Since we were trapped at the outer end of the dock we would have had to escape using our boats. Thankfully it didn't come to that.
Not a great day.
