sunset sailor riding the boardwalk

This catamaran was taken from the marina at Kangaroo Point by the owner during the flood and attached to a tree on the boardwalk.  The owner said he had seen all the pontoons destroyed and thought that this would save the boat.  Unpredictably, the marina survived and this boat was washed right up on the boardwalk where it defied the efforts of many helpers to budge it in the high tide on Thursday.

It had moved right across the boardwalk but has since submerged to its present position , perched on the wall of the boardwalk.

It is just a minute fragment of the many other far more overwhelming stories of loss and grief that the waters carried. As such it does not compare with other destruction of life and property. However, it is a reminder of the flood viewed from our apartment .

At least he still has the boat unlike the many boats we saw raging down the river , surfing on the flood waves to destruction.
The" for sale" sign is still on the boat.
