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. |

I would like to see that before it was cropped. I suspect the water is right below the line of mangroves you see in the shot so a big enough crane might be able to reach over them and pick up the boats. Usually you will have a patch of deep water right up against the mangroves. That needle grass they are sitting in will come right back if they lift the boats straight up. Trying to cut them up for scrap might do more damage than the salvage. It will certainly be an interesting operation. DEP might decide simply cutting a hole in the mangrove wall is the least damaging thing they can do. There will be some mitigation either way. I till try to find out more about the picture. It was in the snooze press. |

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. |

On the outside implies the Atlantic Ocean, ****-for-brains. Also spent a lot of time, and I mean a lot of time, on the "inside" in boats fishing St. Augustine Inlet, Matanzas Inlet, the areas between, and the ICW between Matanzas and the Jax jetties at Mayport. I also fished the exact location where W'hine anchored for the night and just a little south of there at the seaplane landing pond. The St. Augustine area is one of the best places along Florida's NE Coast for fishing. |
