On the 8th of this month while hauling out for our annual dry docking Vega fell from her cradle on the starboard side while still in the water. With the help of a crane we managed to right her again only to have an over excited crane operator pull her past vertical. She then fell on her starboard side flooding the boat completely. At low tide we managed to patch the multitude of leaking seams and pump her dry. Due to her massive construction - she's a tough old bird - the hull damage is not as bad as expected. The rigging appears in good shape having taken hours of strain at 45 degrees heel. Engine and generator along with all electrical equipment are a total loss. Much damage to the interior furnishings and of course all our possessions. The surveyors are now investigating what happened and the full extent of the damage. Meggi, Scourge (the cat) and I are devastated but healthy and together. As most of you know Vega is all we have. The pictures are not in order since they came from several different people. Please share so this reaches all of our friends. If you would like to help - and we really need it right now - we have set up this paypal through our old friend and shipmate Joanne. FB made me remove the link but you can find it in the comments below.
