Sorry Menzies Its one of the Speedy's ferries and it's bow is up on land. (not intended) Most of the ferries are trashed and up on land or upside down. Check out the link in my previous post. There are 60ft boats on buidings.
Just got word Possum is taking on water. It's too dangerous to go to her now. She will probably sink at the dock. I have hull insurance. What a pain in the ass. How the hell is water getting in?

Last I heard the power was still on across much of Miami - will the bilge pumps not hold her?
We lost power on the river but the generator is running so all us well. The worst for us should be over by 1430 hrs.
Good luck Parks.

Sorry to hear your problem with Popssum, probably more rain than scuppers can handle, and ingesting through locker dooor or similar. we can repair boats painfull as it is, bur severly injured people take longer. Stay safe and fix the boat tomorrow....
When I owned boatyards we stopped emergency hauling etc when the windspeed hit 50mph.
Sometimes better to open a bottle of wine and be fatalistic than take risks.
She had at least three functioning bilge pumps Thursday, one 750, one 3500 twelve volts, and one 1500 110 volt. Don't know if the power is on there or not. It's off at my house since six this morning. The batteries would be fully charged until the power goes off. Two 4D batteries would run the pumps a long time.
I was worried about debris in the bilge so I wet/dry vacuumed it Thursday. Maybe I missed something.

TWC reports 75% of Miami-Dade county is without power.
I'm not excited about the new direction directly north. Headed for Fred's house! [emoji22]
However, if I take one for the team and sacrifice the Bijou, can y'all start a gofundme for my next boat? [emoji56]
