Does anyone know how the boats in Ft Myers mooring field have faired or have access to drone footage of that area?
We sold our sailboat a few weeks ago and the owner was forced to take shelter there before the storm. He suspects all boats in the mooring area are gone, but I don't think so. I've seen some limited drone footage showing boats in the mooring field but from a great distance. Hard to make out anything from them.
In any case if anyone is in that area and sees a 48' dark blue hull sailing ketch (for us power boaters that means to masts, shorter one in the back, LOL) - please let me know so I can call the owner (now in NC) to let him know.
Thanks

Re: Ft Myers mooring field
I'm sorry but I don't have the link. It's on The Hull Truth. It'a satellite view of all of the area. I zoomed in on the mooring field and you can clearly see boats moored. It shows the shrimpers stacked up and the destruction of Salty Sams.
Looking at photos of Ft.Myers Beach won't help in answering your question.

Bugsy,
Thanks. I found that website, but the new owner called to tell me he found her about 300' up in the mangroves. Doesn't appear to be critical damage, but hard to say. Not sure how they will get her out of there.....
