Bah!
Duct tape and a little WD40 can fix that!

Pictures from yesterday
Today the crane is moved and nothing going on
Thanks for the picture updates kwhizz. I'm finding this interesting.
Peace, Todd & Cher
Pictures from today...……. Not too much progress and all the sand that was dug out has now been pushed back around the boat......In the last picture they added another drum (3 total) tied to the mast to keep the Keel at a angle so it won't bury itself deeper into the sand
Possibly waiting for full moon high tide February 9th it was moving around a bit yesterday after some more digging around it
Yesterday (Feb 1), they had a pump that was used to clean the sand around the keel. Keel was clear, and then used pump to fill barrels attached to halyard.
Boat heeled enough and was bobbing, meaning it was floating.
Had a large rope around the boat to a large concrete “anchor”, then through heavy tackle back to shore where digger was used to pull.
Anchor pulled free instead.

This morning, moderately large waves.
Boat has turned around and is again bow towards beach.
Cement weights are still on beach.
Thanks for the photos and updates. I've got to believe that there must be an expert with experience in Marine Salvage in JA or South Florida that could save this boat. No idea of the value or insurance coverage but it's got to be worth the cost to save it??
