Captured it on one of the cameras.

I had stepped outside when I heard the big gust and couldn't figure out what the popping noise of things hitting something was then saw the last part falling I think. Then I saw the chicken running around my mom's house.

That chicken didn't like what was going on and evacuated the coop.

I got the boat out, the dolly isn't as bad as it looked, aluminum not bent, just one axle and one wheel slightly bent, and the pads came off, and the frame/screws scratched up the boat.

The wood on one gunwale is broke, the hull near there cracked a little maybe, the aft sealed bulkhead is broke free from the hull, seat support broke.

After I got it out, it was making creaking noise then BOOM, hull popped back into the shape it should be.

No damage to the chicken coop. It almost reached the raspberries that I had just pruned yesterday.

Used a come-a-long winch and pulled the hung part out of the tree. Everything on the ground and safe now.

Looks like maybe 55 rings on the big one that I cut off.

Here's a video summarizing the scene after the work was done.

Patched the boat cover, some iron on adhesive with a piece of the sunbrella scrap, zig zagged the tear, and just sewed around the patch on the inside.

Boat is back on the dolly too, just re-attached the pads, axle and wheel function fine.

The chickens decided it wasn't so scary anymore I guess.

It was quite the crack when I was finally able get enough wedges hammered in to break it off. I didn't trust that there was enough good wood to make a proper back cut safely and didn't want to be on the ladder with the chainsaw when it went. There was maybe a 3 inch square left that I didn't cut which was pretty strong but this wood is really light too so it's a bit deceptive.
