Nothing much else could be done for a boat that far gone except hope it stayed afloat long enough to reach deep water
certainly would not want to be the owner of those nearby vessels. really don't have to mention the owner of the fire except hope no one on board & there is insurance.
You never know it may have been insurance that started the fire.Quote:

Yes; outstanding ability of insurance to create mysterious conflagrations. Especially when fires occur within 'covered' structures so regularly.
One used here is, damage caused "not by storm" but "act of god".Quote:

Shakespeare was (and still) right. re: Dick the Butcher, Henry VI, Part 2.
Yep & they have had hundreds of years to hone the laws and beguile us with the "NEED" to have it , even vets involved the world over.Quote:

Ok, I will zip it now.
...Except 'zipping it' only speeds the proliferation.
Of course, & I don't want to sound totally negative to those experienced, somewhat like "preaching to the converted".
