ok here is the background.  I got up at 3am and drove to sebring where I fished in a tourney(2 fish 3 lbs, 11th place) in Istokpoga on Saturday and then met the family at a rental cabin on Crooked Lake.  This place has a private boat ramp and dock so I put the boat back in the water and Nicole and I fished at sundown.  4 small fish.  Now it's around 9 pm and I tie the stratos up to the dock with the other 3 boats staying there and finally get to bed.  Around midnight I am awakened by a neighbor telling me that 3 of the 4 boats that were tied to the dock, SANK.  Evidently, the wind came up from the north in a storm (that I slept thru)  and had 4' waves rolling across the dock and the stern of the boats tied to it.  There they are sitting on the bottom in about 2' of water still tied to the dock.  We all pitched in and started bailing and getting them loaded back on the trailers.  2 hours later all the boats are on trailers and we go back to bed.  Sunday was spent draining fuel tanks and drying everything out.  I don't think I suffered any major damage but it did ruin my fishing weekend.

Oh man thats a bummer. We had a similar situation one year. Lost 7 boats on the same dock.
