Odd that the fire was in the bow. Almost like something stored in a forward locker caught on fire.

We heard the explosion as we were just about out of the channel. Had a pretty good vantage point as it slowly drifted towards the mount.
The fire was originally in the stern. The bow flared up after the original flames were extinguished by 4 or 5 jet skis spraying. I have some good photos when I’m not on my mobile.

Check out ch 7
Check out ch 7 news tonight. We just saw it on the 9pm coverage. They showed our video we sent in and them some even better video from aboard the Mt and they interview the Mts captain. The video of the jet ski towing the boat on fire was also on there.

Speaking of fires there was something up on East Bear last night, three fire boats and MP responded just after dark, they came ripping by my place lights flashing. Could not tell what was going on after taking a boat ride down that way but there was a big response to whatever it was. Didn't see anything fire wise and they weren't there to long. |

The webcam overlooking the Flightcraft gas dock should have captured the whole event but the Youtube archive of that time period is still "processing". As soon as I get access to that footage I'll post the video.

Same Guy
I just read that it's the same guy who had his boat stolen last year and it was sunk on purpose. I couldn't find the thread, but I know one exists.
Interesting, the guy was complaining about it not being insured when it was stolen and sunk, and now it catches on fire. Either the guy has extremely bad luck or something is rotten in the State of Denmark. |

Really? You honestly think the guy put himself and his family in harms way (via explosion) for a few grand in insurance money? Somebody could have easily been killed, his daughter was blown off the boat and he got a broken rib.
The boat wasn't worth enough to possibly catch a murder charge for killing your kid or anyone else in your family or even innocent bystanders. Woodsy

When you stream live to Youtube it creates separate archive videos of past timeframes. It starts a new video whenever the live stream is interrupted and continues until the next interruption. Sometimes the videos are very short and sometimes they can be as long as a month or more. The video segment that contains the fire video is over 3 weeks long. It takes about a minute for Youtube to process a minute of video so processing that segment could take several weeks. I will keep monitoring it and as soon as I have access to the processed video I'll edit it and post the video of the entire incident. |

IMHO, sounds more like a case of the sunken boat last year, corrosion in electrical system problem this year starting a fire.
I had a Jet Ski that got semi sunk, a year later I was chasing non-stop electric problems. Its sat now for years near my garage, I gave up. |
