THE FIRST AGROUND IS STILL SITTING HIGH
THE SECOND ONE AGROUND, BUT IS NOW FREE
The second boat on the bar here weighed forty tons and the cruisers were debating the possibility of pulling it off the bar, due to the minimal tide variation yesterday. Of course there were the usual adamant "Nay Sayers," of which were happily proved wrong last night. At high tide a group of positive minded cruisers put their minds together and pulled it off the bar at the minimal high tide. I like positive minded people. There's just no stopping them!
JUST A COUPLE OF SUNSETS
A PASTEL SUNSET
I calculated that with 20 Dinks each Having an average 5 HP motor you may have been able to slip it off the sand if the tide, wind, and luck are with you. Fortunately the bay has a sandy bottom.
ReplyDeleteIt's off now. Drew pulled it off, but it was not easy. One of the marinas brought out a boat to pull it off, but they wanted $2800.00 US. I hate bastards that try to take advantage of someone's misfortune. All it ended up costing was a case of beer, and that was voluntary!
DeleteI wonder how they came up with the magical number of $2,800? Drew is a good guy who got a lot of respect from the other boaters.
