Re: Fire takes out 6 boats in Gouvia Marina , Corfu

And there was another fire at Mattapoisett Mass. marina with 14 boats totally destroyed. There seems to have been an increase in the number of marina and hardstand fires lately and I saw how quickly a fire can take off at the Breakwater marina in Townsville, very worrying. My boat is in a port á sec in France along with about a thousand other boats all parked no more than six inches apart due to the hydraulic cradle transporters abilities. If our yard caught fire in a strong breeze it would all be totally destroyed. 🤢
