The "Longone" already stripped four days after it's grounding on the rocks of Spirit's Bay, NZ.
According to the Northland Ages report on January 28th, 2010:
While the owner of this yacht tried to deliver people to the Spirits Bay Beach, gusty winds and a large swell sealed the fate of "The Longone".
And to add insult to injury, only one person on the beach offered assistance. No sooner was the yacht grounded on the rocks, did other by-standers immediately start looting. Taking anything from electronics to clothing and food. The paper goes on to compare the looters like locusts grabbing everything.
No one was injured and the yacht was insured and this is the important thing.
Another story was published in the same newspaper on February 7, 2010 with another side to the story from people on the beach. There is now contradiction to the original story and the chain of events.
Both stories can be read at the following links, you can decide for yourself.

Photo my brother took of the barge that went aground South of South Beach in Scientists' Cliffs during Ernesto. It was ultimately towed away.
Engine failure followed by grounding on a deserted island !!! They must have thought that they were shipwrecked with the prospect of being marooned there for weeks but help was at hand and the drama was quickly resolved !!!

Buttom Loading Systems has the function of static discharging and overfill prevention and is to be used in the loading system of liquid chemical products. It can be interlocked with automatic control system, when the liquid level reaches the sensor or there is ineffective grounding, it will give out acousto-optic alarm and output signal to stop the valve and pump to prevent overfill and ensure static grounding

This, my friends, is a beefcake shot for cruising women. It's not that he's so sexy... he is but that's beside the point. It's that he's FIXING THE BOAT. Woot!
TrametesVersicolor / TurkeyTail is an Edible Medicinal Mushroom I stumbled upon while hiking and Wild Foraging // Turkey Tail Mushrooms strengthen the immune system due to their polysaccharides. They are a living intelligence born out of mycelium, which is a neuronic network of communication and mineral transfers throughout the depth of the forest’s soil. They can drastically improve any serious disease if taken daily. You can let it dry and make teas with it. I like to eat Medicinal Mushrooms raw because I feel its affects right away. Tinctures and extracts are other ways. They have been used to treat cancer for 30+ years in Japan. It is said to increase energy, relieve pain, reduce phlegm, helps the respiratory system, digestion, urinary function, inflammation, the liver and hepatitis B.

ABC, Glasgow, 25 March 2011
An interested crowd of spectators gathered at the foreshore near the harbour following the grounding of a small coastal steamer, the Florence, on rocks outside Arbroath Harbour at the beginning of October, 1938. The vessel's seven-strong crew was rescued by the Arbroath motor lifeboat, RNLB John and William Mudie. The vessel had left Bo'ness with a cargo of 290 tons of coal for Arbroath Corporation Gas Works. When she arrived at Arbroath, she received a signal from the coastguard that there would not be enough water for her to berth for two days, because of the neap tides. The captain decided to make for the open sea and was in process of weighing anchor when a strong south-easterly gale and heavy seas drove his ship on to the Knuckle Rock. After the crew had been rescued, the vessel moved from the Knuckle Rock on to rocks nearer the shore. The captain and a surveyor later boarded the ship and made an examination when it was found that she had been holed both fore and aft and the engine and boilers had been forced out of position by the pounding the ship had received. By the end of October, the owners, Fallows Steamship Company, Liverpool, had given up hope of salvaging the vessel and locals were given permission to take what they could of her cargo.
Union with God is not something we acquire by a technique but the grounding truth of our lives that engenders the very search for God. Because God is the ground of our being, the relationship between creature and Creator is such that, by sheer grace, separation is not possible. God does not know how to be absent. The fact that most of us experience throughout most of our lives a sense of absence or distance from God is the great illusion that we are caught up in; it is the human condition. The sense of separation from God is real, but the meeting of stillness reveals that this perceived separation does not have the last word. This illusion of separation is generated by the mind and is sustained by the riveting of our attention to the interior soap opera, the constant chatter of the cocktail party going on in our heads.-Into the Silent Land: A Guide to the Christian Practice of Contemplation by Martin Laird

I wanted to show off how this Dewalt 1-9/16 Demo Hammer does at setting ground rods! I hope to get a video of one from start to finish, but for now, you can see that it is way better than using a sledge!
Scuffed the pain and attached a grounding block close to the distribution block for the system ground
