Nicely anchored in a really beautiful marsh, 9 miles north of St
Augie. We saw lots of serious dock damage in the JAX area and there
are some good sized timbers floating around just to make life
interesting. There are also a fair number of 30 something sailboats
aground and abandoned along the ICW, most with very visible sail and
canvas damage. Every one is a heartache for some unfortunate owner.


Some guys had a real bad day.

I wonder how they will get these out? Big crane on a barge?

Ouch. Where was that? The salvage operation will make for a good
YouTube video however they do it. The trouble with a barge crane is
that the fine for damaging those mangroves will probably exceed the
value of the boats.


Just poking around Google Earth and looking at the mangroves, needle
grass etc, my guess is right across from river's edge marina, maybe
Oasis around the corner. I suppose someone not as salty as you may
have stuffed them up in the bushes somewhere else and they got loose.
