Purdue tug was trying to leave mid-tide with a fully loaded grain barge that draws ten feet - it hit the mud on the creek bottom and slid sideways into our dock and boat. The tide was about 18 inches lower than normal because the high winds that blew the water down river. Elektra is a classic Carl Alberg design yacht built by Pearson - a 23 ft fibre-glass hull built in 1965 and fully restored in 2002. The boat is model is Electra and we have named her Elektra - she suffered only minor scratch to the hull. Jes Sgroi with Edgewater Marine is salvaging the boat right now before high winds tonight that could displace the precarious state of the boat lift and cause much more damage.
