San Pedro, Holiday Harbor.
The Ericson in the slip next to mine had a fire and is a total loss. The fire dept. indicated that it originated in the battery box. A witness heard a pop and looked up and the boat was engulfed with flames coming out the windows. He immediately called 911. He stated, took a hose and squirt down the sail and cover as the flames were already there in less than one minute. He believed that if he hadn't been there when he was that other boats would likely have been damaged as well. I thanked him for what he had done, saving my Olson 34 and other adjacent boats.
Ironically, the owner just bought the boat approximately a month or two ago. It was definitely a fixer-upper. He indicated that he was working on it and getting ready for the trip to MDR as a live a aboard.
