You may recall that a neighbor of ours, Buddy D., had left his boat (30-40 foot) on his boat lift. Well we were checking on it, peering out of our window, from time to time when around 5:00 PM on Thursday we saw it rocking. Only could mean one thing - that the tide and waves had lifted it OFF of the boatlift and that it would surely break loose. Nothing you can do about that with waters raging over your pier and dock. By 6:00 PM, I believe, we didn't see his boat anymore. Friday morning we looked up to Buddy’s dock, now missing, as was his boat. Talking with Buddy later in the day he said that Thursday/Friday morning after having seen his boat slip away, around 1:30 AM he couldn’t take it anymore and went out driving in search of his boat. Sure enough, and luckily enough, Buddy found his boat just up river in the marshland. Now how is a fellow supposed to get his boat out of the marsh and back to safety? Well, he’s been told that perhaps a crane or perhaps a helicopter can get it back on the water. My gosh!
