    Took a cruise up to the Port of Palm Beach and spotted some victims of hurricane Frances. I would have gone further, but I had a case of the Mercury Optimax Gremlins. :mad:

    Let me preface these pictures by letting you know.... ALL OF THESE PICTURES were taken over the course of 10 minutes and less than a 1/2 mile stretch of the intracoastal. Remember, this is Palm Beach. The real damage was 40 miles north of here!!

    Let's get started. Looks like a total loss to me. Whatta ya think?

    This is a mobile salvage barge. Each of the boats sank during the storm and have been crane lifted onto the barge. Looks like Dominos!

    Trumpy Yacht SEA DREAM lost to Hurricane Frances in Palm Beach

    The two photos above are of the Trumpy Yacht SEA DREAM. Large holes were opened in her hull during Hurricane Frances. Initial efforts to patch the holes and refloat the yacht failed. Photos of the attempt to rescue SEA DREAM are at http://www.trumpyyachts.com/
