We found a nice motorboat in the Copeland Islands. It had been tied off to a large rock, but the bow lead was too short. When the tide dropped, the boat became vertical, with it's nose pointed skyward. When the tide rose, the boat filled with water and stayed vertical. The good news is that the kids who borrowed Dad's boat were all safe and sound on the island. Bradford R.
