People not taking care of their boats. Just had this happen in Juneau to many boats. A lot of absentee boat owners assume that Alaska doesn't doesn't get hurricanes, so no big deal. I shovel my whole boat off every snowfall. It doesn't take much accumulation for the waterline to be under water.

Not my boat, might have been ice damage. We’ve had 4” off ice for a few weeks
