I'm off this week and enjoying time at the marina after a busy weekend on the water. My canvas guy is also working in the new top.
But this morning my phone rang and it was my daughter at about 6am. "Dad! The marina's on fire!". I sat bolt upright as she said the gas dock was in flames. Out of bed, in the car and 20 minutes later I'm there and the fire is out...thank god. We're one dock over from the gas dock. Pretty scary stuff.
Issue now is that's 2 less gas docks as another went up in downtown Kelowna last year. We don't exactly have a lot of places on Okangan Lake for gas, especially for bigger boats.
Here's some pics.

We're lucky there was no wind, or the whole place could've gone up. They think the cause is a cigarette butt on the dock from over nite partners on the gas dock.
