rodheadlee Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Today is the big day. we have been dredging for 10 days now. We have hauled out 140 truck loads of sand. We get a 6 foot 2 tide at 7:30pm. I'm out of money and out of time. I think we'll have 7 feet of water. We draw 6 feet 9 inches but we have moved a bunch of stuff off of the boat. I will empty the water tanks before we leave and I believe we will draw 6 feet 5 inches. We want to wake up tomorrow in Ensenada after we get out of here. I will be able to take better care of my parents with the boat in a safe place. Could you all please pray that we make it out to open sea? 4 Link to comment

Calm Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I am getting tense. I hope Rod can let us know quickly, but guessing he might be busy if it works and busy if it doesn't Link to comment

If y'all could pray that the sand goes out instead of coming in tonight that would be cool. 3 Link to comment

You can Google it I can't post a link from my phone. It's very nice and it's two blocks from Captain Dorian and his Marines. There should be no bullets flying. 2 Link to comment
