    They made cement filled containers with rebar loops. Plan is to take containers out and attempt to use a winch system. The keel is still in tact.

    For the Captain's sake I hope it works and the operation is conducted safely.

    I am a wee bit skeptical, unless they use more than 15 tons of cement. She's going to seriously resist being dragged along the sand with her keel buried. They're going to need a 3/4" or larger steel cable with a major winch.

    Well now that the keel is buried I'm thinking boom crane or a method to jack it up and put it on a launch trailer.

    Boat Bar Two? There's already a head and a galley, even bunks to hang out in.

    Containers filled with cement did not work. Latest is that a tug boat is on the way.

    Now that the keel is buried tug will have a hard time. Unless they can get her back on her side and tie the tug off the nose and midship to pull her like a kite, they will have trouble. I think jacking and a cradle trailer might be the last choice. Or a boom truck if one can be found there.
