Basically,
the newsclip was a feel sorry for the owner and his problems segment.
He's removed all the fasdam materials from the site but has a flotilla of about 8 houseboats rafted together a couple miles away in man-o-war harbor where he's got a telescope trained on Legacy 24-7... Pays no rent or mooring fees . I guess he's trying to figure out next plan. been thru a few salvagers. I think he;s his own worst enemy.
I know a way to get it out with NO enviromental damage, but want NOTHING to do with owner and I'm sure there's a few more out there as well.
It's a shame really nice boat.. The state wants it out of there, but the owner has threatened ligitation and they keep backing down.
I caint figure out why the insurance company hasn't cut him loose yet.
2 years and more than 2 salavage contracts kicked off the job has to be costing them a bit of $$$
at least it's a nice bird rookery and I caught a almost legal Gag grouper hanging out under where her keel sits.
It's kind of interesting, but appears as though the outgoing tidal flow is creating a channel out the same path she drug coming in.
maybe if enough time goes by she'll be able to float back out the same way.
that Keel must be at least 6 ft down in the sand bottom .
