Don't know which hurricane had gone through the area but there were blown out buildings and boats washed up by the highway. We even saw some Chris craft -like cruisers stabbed through billboards. |

When the tornado hit my condo in Treasure Island (off St Pete) a pontoon tied to the dock was broken up and scattered down the seawall. One of the pontoons was in a neighbor's living room, making short work of some "roll safe" shutters. I think the shutters cost more than the boat. |

He certainly demonstrated how you anchor a boat in a hurricane and have it survive. |

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. |
