Posted on March 14, 2011 at 3:12pmOk guys, not destroyed but sever damage. What you saw was but a bit of what happened. over 20 boats unaccounted for. many many more ruined or with major damage. This marina only holds 800ish boats, commercial and pleasure crafts with many live aboards. ( Not an abundance of expensive yachts either.) What you saw was one of many waves/surges that last all day into the next. up to 7 feet! Lives were at risk and people lost their homes lively hoods and dreams. If you left the harbor you were in big trouble the Coast Guard will not let you back in. Docks sunk along many boats making navigation to hazardous. The Feds have virtually seized the harbor locking all the docks. They are threatening felony arrest and 25k fine for even checking on your boat. You can schedule a police escort only to retrieve clothes and meds. No word when will be able to go back to our home/boat. We are grateful that ours is still intact, and the Japanese situation has us all thanking God that this was so minor even though devastating to many.

Posted on March 14, 2011 at 1:30pmThe only people who aren‘t mocking this video are the ones who aren’t boat owners. Aren’t we, the right, supposed to NOT be acting as hateful as the left when it comes to our neigbors calamity? You guys need to repent.

Posted on March 14, 2011 at 1:25pmAs a boat owner in California I can tell you I am not rich, or liberal. I’m struggling to fund the lifestyle I enjoy on the water, and dealing with liberal idiots that attack boat owners pocketbooks and access to the water relentlessly.
All you that hate on us boat owners just think, when they drive everyone but the filthy rich out of boating, what will they come for next? Hunting, skiing, eating out, churches?

Posted on March 14, 2011 at 10:58amThe distance between Tokyo, Japan and Los Angeles, California is 5478 miles. It destroyed the dock and smashed all those boats from more than 5,000 miles away! That’s awesome.

Posted on March 14, 2011 at 10:44amI think it is interesting to realize how far that wave come – across the Pacific – and was still so strong to toss those boats around – the force of Mother Nature is awesome! Some of you started you don’t understand why Blaze put this up but you have to realize – well, it because some that affects Japan travels and affects the US.

Posted on March 14, 2011 at 11:31amSomething much worse happened to the eco-nuts than a tidal wave and an earthquake. (That would only strengthen their resolve.) Two things actually. First the truth leaked out about their fraud and secondly they were swamped by the TEA party wave.

Report Post »after all the warnings. Why wouldn’t they take their boats out
to sea in deeper water where the wave would hardly be noticeable?
That’s right ……It’s the left coast.

Posted on March 14, 2011 at 11:26amAs far as comparing this damage to Japan’s is absurd. I do not think that is what the intent was. A quake and tidal wave as far as Japan still able to do damage, though miniscule in comparison, is news worthy. Why the boats weren’t taken out, they are expensive and their owners were probably at work trying to pay for them. I would like to have one some day you know, if I work hard enough and am smart enough to get a job that pays that good. It sure would make me feel uneasy though if people started calling me “rich” like it was bad and I had done something personally to them or something. I mean if I’m smart enough and work hard enough why would somebody resent me for it? So I buy a nice boat and a big house. I mean it ain’t like I won it in a lottery. And even if I did why would there be people that resent me for it. Seriously, So I make a lot of money. I worked hard for it. I pay to keep the guys who work at the dock employed. I pay money to the insurance company and keep them employed. I do my fair share of distributing my wealth. Why there are so many who resent me for it, I can’t understand. The only thing I can figure is that they are too stupid to understand basic economics or plain jealous, or both. Actually I don‘t make that much and though sometimes I think I’m smart my income, job and status in life contradicts that daily. But I will say this. I own a house, two cars, and a big yard and have plenty for food. Down the road a bit is a guy who lives in a trailer that is falling apart. His yard is full of trash and he has a really loud old junky truck that smokes. I know he does odd jobs and has very little money. I wonder if he thinks I’m rich because I have two cars and a house. I wonder if he hates me for it.

Posted on March 15, 2011 at 2:28amwhat the hell? all of these boat owners should have known that this was coming. why couldn’t they get their boats out of the harbor? also the harbors should be better prepared with maybe a little bit fewer boats tied to the same dock right next to each other.
