A good friend lost his O'Day 27 last week. It was moored in fresh water in the St. John's River at Palatka, while he was in N. Carolina for the summer. A strike blew a small hole in each side (below the waterline naturally) and there was a hole around the sink drain- that had been a metal thru-hull fitting. But the boat made a lovely new home for the alligator who took up residence in the former ****- we have a photo!- before the insurance company came for the salvage op.
