I went to pick up my boat Friday evening to go rowing out in Worcester and I was greeted by this site.

Yup, that’s a really big tree branch that has destroyed the bow of my boat.  We had a very windy and rainy day on Thursday, I assume the branch came down then and no one noticed during the day Friday.  I won’t be rowing that boat any time soon.  With all my talk about grit and resilience…this was a huge blow.  I cried when I saw it.

Now I get to have many conversations with insurance agents and see what happens.
