Washed ashore - Grand Bend

By the looks of things the wind and waves have subsided by the time this photo was taken of a sailboat on the wrong side of the pier and river entrance. I believe he was trying to leave the entrance when he got stuck on a sandbar then washed ashore just south of the pier.

Susanne noted that the Grand Bend Yacht Club posted some photos of a boat washing up on the south beach over the weekend at Grand Bend. There was some extremely high winds from the north over the weekend. We kept our boat there for years and know that with the conditions of a strong north wind it is best to stay put and not venture out between the pier. The sailing out on the lake is OK, it is the getting in and out with sand banks building at the entrance to the river and the narrow width between the pier. This must be a new member to the club as I don't recognize the boat that tried to venture out over the weekend but did not make it.....George

Don't think he needs the anchor out anymore. He is luck he washed up on the beach and not against the pier. I have seen the damage on boats that have bounced off it over the years.
