Re: Sailboat on the beach at Treehouse?
These are a few pics and a video people have not seen.
We arrived at Almond Tree Rooms (next to Tree House) in Negril on Jan. 21st just before sunset. I took a picture of the Tolovnana ancored off of the Palms.
We could hear the waves building all night and when we looked out early the next morning we could see the sailboat coming in. Over the next 45 minutes too an hour we watched it bounce down the shore towards the Tree House. I think it was about 8am it came to rest where it is now bouncing back and forth for a few hours till the sea calmed and the sand filled in around it.
We watched the whole thing from our yard for the next 16 days. All the cement, earth movers, backhoes. They turned it around so it was facing out. They tried to pull it with a boat, but the water is only about 3 feet deep for about 100 feet out. The keel is 7’7” and is weighted with lead (605 lbs. per sf). On the night of Feb. 4th the sea got rough again and at 5:30am the next morning the boat turned around to face the beach again. Needless to say that is where it was when we left Negril on Feb. 6th. We’ll see how long it lasts, I bet Gale is getting tired of looking at it.
