Gasoline explosion by the sounds of it... Gas leak + air + spark = BOOM!!!!

We lost a boat in Fairhaven about a month ago due to a propane explosion IIRC. Article here.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
