Oops, bad day at marina

[Sum Escape]

No one injured. Apparently getting lift positioned to pull a boat and got off track. Oops...accidents happen.

I've often wondered if that ever happens when I see the marina operating the lift in those narrow tracks. Glad there was no boat in the lift and no one got hurt, other than pride that is. You know that operator will never hear the end of this one.

Back in service in 4 hours? Guess they don't think that inspection and recertification are important.
