Hi,

I hope you are not suggesting that the wake lifted the boat over the top of the pilings. I took the photos from a fixed highway bridge about 70 m from the boat. There is no way someone could pass that dock with enough speed to make a big wake without hitting the bridge going one way or not being up to speed the other way.

The boat looked like it had been supported in some kind of boat lift that had collapsed. I have another picture taken from alongside it. I will post it when I find it ( I e mailed those two to someone which is why I have them and not the other with me on the road). I also got a couple of great Iguana pics on the dock there too. One is visible in those two pics above near the bow if you look carefully.
