Terrible. Did your boat suffer any damage?
At 1st glance there is no significant damage.
However things like boiler insulation won't like the water.

ooooooh that is terrible...
I imagine some of the "big" boats suffered a similar fate
At least they can be recovered and rebuilt... X2 on the fresh water comment

Miraculously Grayling appears to have survived almost unscathed! She is out the water now awaiting the insurance surveyor but the boiler & engine have been dried out with a charcoal fire, all ok.

Sorry to hear about the damage. Looks like many folks have their work cut out for them. Keep your spirits strong. This storm will be another story of challange and acomplishment when you get it some time behind it.
