On bob's blog, he posted more pics of the boat that burned a couple weeks ago. I hope these folks have begun to get their lives back together...so sad.

Hardly. The Reporter had a thank you letter from them. No insurance.

Apparently, the owners at the time used the dinghy to transport themselves to Klein & were diving when the fire began. When they surfaced, they noticed all the black smoke & to their horror discovered it was coming from their vessel, named the Constance.

The locals had the burning boat towed to the blue water after removing the dog which was on board before the ship sank. Not a pleasant ending, especially bearing in mind that as Mickey stated they previously had canceled their insurance.
