A friend owns this Marina in New Site, Mississippi.. near Iuca.. It has collapsed due to snow load. Believe or not... there is a Extended Deckhouse 53 in this picture. Please keep Chris Mills and family in your prayers. I believe that is a gulfstar in front and Chris's Hatteras, I believe was on the other end.

That stinks. I hope your friend does okay. How is your marina doing?

Re: Bay Springs Marina Collapse
East Tennessee dodged all of this! West Tennessee got hammered. Chris got all the livaboards off before the collapse. I hesitate to call him right now. Another friend's boat is also in the picture... a houseboat. Bay Springs is one of the few Marina's on the TennTom and is a great stopping place.

Looks like a Carver Aft Cabin in front.

Re: Bay Springs Marina Collapse
I remember a bottom paint that was used on high performance boats that felt like rubber to the touch, but as soon as water touched it, it became super slick and water would slough off of it. I wonder if it would do any good with snow? They certainly need something to stop snow from accumulating.

Re: Bay Springs Marina Collapse
No offense, but it amazes me how many dock engineers comment on such things as marina construction in the south.
I definitely hate to see that happen as that's always a favorite stopping point. As I'm sure was the case with anyone and everyone associated with that marina, they never expected to see those slips come down like that.Randy Register - Kingston, TN

Re: Bay Springs Marina Collapse
Would more angle on the roofs help?
Always thought all roofs that could be snowed on were steep.
Here in Florida, we mostly deal with volcanoes, earth quakes, man eating lizards & snakes, 'canes & yankee drivers.
Been spoiled in avoiding snow storms.
