Glad everything is ok with you Al.

That wall can be a hazard at times. Is that the one the Coast Guard bumped a few years back?

There are wood and steel I-beam pilings at the marina entrance, and he hit one of those.

But he did not say whether the Silverton was hung up on the main channel or marina entrance, but I am guessing its the main channel. There are only four Silvertons in our marina, I don't think it was one of those boats.

The main channel is the one the Coast Guard hit. The damaged steel plating is still there.
