Warning: Hillsboro Inlet, S. Florida

Props grounded while well inside the channel outside north jetty & at fast idle, back on Sat. 4/18. Boat only draws 4 ft.
Appears another had issue in different area.

Some years back a huge dredge cut away the reef that went to the south, enabling it to be widened out so boats could run out without the jog but now that area has also become shallow from sand.
We learned first-hand on 4/18 just how shallow its become. Today the dredge was doing its thing but not outside even though the ocean was flat calm. Mentioned it to a local boat yard that will haul my boat next week, and the service mgr. said many other customers ran onto the sand.

From there to home all idle speed. No vibration but I'm sure all of the Prop Speed is gone. In the meantime, the sea tow crooks billed it at salvage rate but she was due for bottom paint and insurance said if any damage found they will add to the claim.
