In hindsight, it might have been better to load it on the flatbed and then have a tug boat tow the flat bed out to see until the boat floats. Cut the straps and get the trailer back to the beach. Pretty much any larger boat could tow the sailboat to safe harbor at that point. This is turning out to be as hard to solve as the COVID.
Disclaimer: Not a salvager or a wrecker, just glad to have something take my mind off the constant doom and gloom.
