snagged

the previous night's windstorm seems to have taken a toll...clearly this sailboat slipped it's moorings, and ended up snagged on the rocks at Kits Point

across Burrard Inlet looms Cypress Mountain, in West Vancouver

The owner is going to get a shock when he next visits the mooring! A great capture with the rugged rocks in the foreground. V

Hope it's not too badly damaged but it makes for a dramatic shot, David. Cypress Mountain makes for a lovely background. Vote.

I would think this sail boat has had better days. Wonderful clarity and color in this beautifully shot image. I think your low angle of capture worked exceptionally well David. V

Disastrous wind for the boat's owner. Very well shot.

I bet those rocks did some serious damage. Your shot emphasizing the rocks works very well V

Must have been some strong winds. Very nice image to show the force of nature.

We were lucky the wind storm missed us but I do feel for the owner of this sailboat, excellent shot David.
