Nice Ketch. Or it was. That will not be cheap to fix. Important to know your vessel's Air draft, tides and clearances.

 

[Liveto99]

Well CRAP! Aground in the channel.
Tow boat US knew where they just pulled out a 51’ yesterday. ClusterF day.

 

[Liveto99]

Then it started raining. Longer story I’ll post it tonight. Listening to them 2 rub it in I don’t want to take away there fun.

Ouch. At least you are not far from help! It could had been worse, just ask @Andy S, lol. he's was aground off the tip of Andros (?) in the Bahamas, spent a sleepless night fighting off sharks and pirates before high tide saved them.

Oh boy hope its a muddy bottom and the props didnt get tore up. A boat that size they are prob 15-20k a piece. Funny you are on an ocean. I am standing in the old ocean yacht factory right now

 

[tabbibus]

Yup 32” brass.

Boat is fine, props are fine, everything is good. front hit I killed engines. Sand has been washing in. They know about it they are doing dredging. I was following another boat I went about 10‘ over to give a 65’ boat a little room by the marker on the other side of the channel. Hit and knew I mean the boat slid up on sand and slowed from 17 to 0 so killed engines. Tried to get off could not Evan with help so called tow boat Us and they pulled us off. Went to savannah Georgia and pulled in for the night. I’ll fill in more later.

Some nice boats here

Good morning well now this turned, Capt meeting will report back with plans. Was going to Jykell Island but they are under a Hurricane warning. May have to stay put.

 

[Liveto99]

Staying put! There is no space In marinas ahead of here they are full already. We will have to wait and see what the storm does. It is calm now we tied up to floating dock with cement piers. And doubled the lines and will wait. Work on the boat a bit. Going to the Bass Pro Shop for supplies.

What manufacturor is the first photo? The 50' SeaRay is nice. As well as the Scout CC. That 42' Outrage would fit my slip just fine, and the boat I tried to steer @swatski towards, by dropping hints, but he is set on keeping his current towrig.

We're under a Hurricane Watch with flooding eminent. Below is a track to be aware of and you should hunker down till it passes.

Yep.
Thank you @Liveto99 for bringing us all along.

Man, what would I give to switch places with you right now!

I tell you though, it's gonna be difficult to step down from that perch high up on the flybridge, and back into our lowly Yammies, lolol.
