Bringing boat to Fl by water. Not jet boat.

Nice Ketch. Or it was. That will not be cheap to fix. Important to know your vessel's Air draft, tides and clearances.
 
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.☹️
 
What’s your draft?
Hope that doesn’t slow you down too much.
Been enjoying following along on your journey!

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

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.FB9687EC-B44A-4FD7-A3A5-27162DBEF82B.jpeg176A65A6-C674-49EB-8AEE-3685360D83C0.jpeg
 
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?.image.jpg

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.
