Good to see ya back again Sads.....I was thinking maybe the beach renurishment project guys would dredge it out for free, but seems you got the boat in water anyway.....nice work!

 

[SADS 669]

2nd Boat in the water moved the 3 rd one too......

 

[SADS 669]

3rd one moving down the track, you see it in the background of the previous photo.......

 

[Red_desert]

Wow! That's a lot of boat moving, probably take time for trees and vegetation to get back in shape again.

 

[SADS 669]

This one now in the water, on to number 4.......

 

[SADS 669]

Number 4 ready to go in tomorrow, making great contacts.

 

[SADS 669]

4 in 5 next.....

 

[SADS 669]

5 in 6 next.......( number 6 is owned by a fisherman who tells me he knows where a sunken freighter is with " goodies" on it)

 

[SADS 669]

6 in 7 next......just waiting for high tide.....

How many left to go?

 

[SADS 669]

Probably just two, but the bulldozer clearing the land broke down in the middle of the track so it might only be one if it can't be repaired and moved out of the way.

The salvage guys have a fuel barge on the rocks elsewhere that needs them real quick but they are gonna try the last 2 before they go....
The Rotary club paid for all of the boats to be moved, great guys....it wasn't pro bono but close...ha ha

Kevin-

I really commend you for the efforts you've put forth in helping that community recover. Remind me to stand ya a drink...you've earned it.

[SADS 669]

Thanks Kurt, I'll take you up on it, the most difficult boat now ready to go ( draws 6.5 ft) number 7

 

[SADS 669]

Last one near the water being held back by the islands tow truck, launch tomorrow...

 

[aquanut]

That one looks injured.

I'm just wondering...how many Canteen Medals will SADS be awarded for this meritorious conduct?
