Re: The boat on the road “still running”. It may have been the generator. It’d have been a prudent precation to start the generator and vacate the vessel. In that way the batteries would have remained charged as the bilge pump(s) ran. Just a thought. It’ll take some time before we know the true estimate of lives and propery lost. : (( I always hate these things.

The reporter who discovered the vessel implied that it was the main engine, that he and the cameraman had been unable to shut it off because the key was missing and that all they had been able to do was “reduce the idle” by closing the throttle.
