[@shAnn0n1]

I watched the actual guy who owns this boat videos before, during, and after the storm!!! SO cool that I found you guys and you're video of it!!! Thk you for your footage too!!!!

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank you so much for watching, yes we watched his as well.

[@alkennedy1124]

If you would of walked to your right with the camera we would be able to see to boat being lifted , all we seen at first was the boat all ready on the the barge , lol thanks BigAl California just subscribed to your channel. Praise Jesus Christ grace grace grace amen

[@KNRAdventures1]

Hi Big Al, The boat was never actually put on the barge just lifted enough to clear the sea wall. Then they pivoted the barge away from the sea wall and lowered the boat in the water. We were on a vacant lot. I wish we could have been over on the other side so we could get close ups. Thanks for watching

[@jimkugler5725]

Really love how you are trying to keep the public and property owners update on the work being done and your trip to Matlachia showed mostly a waste land many years of progress gone

Thank you, it was a very quaint little area, reminded me of the keys. They will be back I’m sure.

How much damage and is it repairable or does insurance company take it?

I watched the owners video today. He her her up and running and said so far it’s just needs some fiberglass work. No leaks from shafts. His channel is Adventures of Happy Ours.

might get to do this all again next hurricane season. Lost several homes and boats in sw florida over the years.

I hope not.

[@debbienorton1054]

Looks like it Yay! im nervous and dont even own it. This is a dream boat of mine when I saw this a few weeks ago I felt it for this family

[@KNRAdventures1]

Yes very sad, hopefully insurance will cover it all.

[@debbienorton1054]

@anita miller For real? The cost of that boat would landscape the whole neighborhood

[@mrthunder8190]

Dang, such a big project..Does insurance cover all this, or hurricane relief funds? The costs have to be insane. Good luck down there.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Thank you for watching, I would assume boat/yacht insurance would cover it. It’s around a 2 million dollar yacht.

[@Sea2SeaAdventures]

Definitely a tough first season for Happy Ours!

Agreed 👍🏻

[@rtp3962]

I'm not a boater so please forgive me if I ask stupid questions. On a salvage like that who gets the boat? If it was sank off shore whoes boat would it be?

[@KNRAdventures1]

Sadly I am not well versed in maritime law. But under certain circumstances salvage laws can come into play. I’m sorry but I do not know the intricate details of that process. I’m a 30 plus year boater but that topic I have never looked into. Thank you for watching!

[@lindabradford9591]

Where are they taking all these boats? So much damage. Pretty sad for all of you that went through this hurricane.

[@KNRAdventures1]

I heard there is a storage lot on Burnt store road with recovered boats. It’s an undeveloped field. But I have not confirmed this. Thanks for watching

[@harrybriscoe7948]

any estimates on how many boats lost at sea or where ever ?

[@KNRAdventures1]

No sorry, but we have seen Tarpon Point marina near us, a lot of big yachts are in bad shape. Also up the river in Fort Myers there is another marina that got hit real bad. The floating docks came apart and away went the boats. Some with the dock still tied to them. Thanks for watching

[@americanrambler4972]

How badly hit was this neighborhood overall? It looks like overall, the damage in this particular area was pretty minor overall. Either that, or all those home and property owners are really quick and on the ball about getting things cleaned up and repaired.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Homes in Sw Cape Coral mostly was flood (around 10 inches in home in some cases) , pool cage and roof damage. Boats and docks were also hit hard. Nothing like Fort Myers beach or Matlache near Pine Island who suffered tremendous damage.

[@LisA-if1ej]

It's deceiving too, if you see the front yards, there's damaged property on the curb waiting to be picked up. But yes, the Fort Myers Beach area got hit way harder than this area did.

[@bbrcummins1984]

Remember when south Florida was nice ? Yeah about 50 years ago.

[@farfallino5136]

My property manager recently informed me that one of his clients' boats was in the pool... The recovery took several hours and reportedly cost over $2000 an hour....

[@KNRAdventures1]

Wow! I’ll bet this recovery was $20,000. But that’s just my guess

[@peachkopp1352]

He's lucky it wasn't more. Political contracts determine who gets what. Why does TBUS have a lock on everything marine whether on or off land? So much for fair competition especially when dealing with Tallahassee. Ugh

[@KNRAdventures1]

I wouldn’t know about that, but I have seen SeaTow boats around, just have not seen any doing the big recovery stuff.

[@mikebuffing727]

@@peachkopp1352 in this case the owner is a tow boat us member so they called it in. See adventures with happy ours for his view on it.

[@michaelstaylor2844]

Does someone inspect the boat to see if it's sea worthy?

[@KNRAdventures1]

Not sure, perhaps the insurance company may require that to continue being insured by the company. That being said boat insurance is not mandatory, unless maybe if you have a loan on the boat.

[@debbienorton1054]

Is Happy Ours being rescued?

[@KNRAdventures1]

It was put back in the water today, and towed to the owners home.

[@High-Alpha]

So was this a service of Towboat U.S?

[@KNRAdventures1]

I noticed the Towboat US sign was tied on, I’m guessing they rented the barges and equipment and provided this service.

Vero Beach ⛱️🏖️ FLORIDA

[@KNRAdventures1]

[@billlawton1186]

How did this happen?

[@KNRAdventures1]

This happened from Hurricane Ian, 155 mph winds and at least 8 feet of tide surge.

[@billlawton1186]

Yes,I understand it was surge. But the video shows other vessels that seem undisturbed. If it was surge, then boaters should goon the hard in future storms or tie up to floating docks with tall piling,eh?

[@KNRAdventures1]

Well the 2 marinas near by here had floating docks the docks came apart and the boats floated away with pieces of dock still tied to them. Is this particular case the the pilings that the boat was tied to from a distance looked like a heavy PVC type, I saw at least one was snapped and another one bent over. They were not the typical wood piling .

[@billlawton1186]

Aha! Someone should do an analysis (Boat US?) discussing what works and what doesn’t. We boaters should be aware of techniques that are successful, and those that aren’t. There is a serious lack of knowledge in the boating community that’s getting worse rather than better. So now we know lesson #1 is dont tie up to a PVC piling! Lesson 2. Monitor your lines when in a static docking situation. (Perhaps consider piling slides). From photos I’ve seen, people need to know to remove canvas-Bimini tops et al…

[@KNRAdventures1]

Another issue in this area particularly is that many of the homes here are secondary vacation homes (not me I live here). I’m willing to guess many of the boats that were damaged and floated away the owners were not even in the state to make those line adjustments etc…

[@Mr91495osh]

All these boats will be fixed and resold.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Agreed many will be

[@KarensKaraoke1]

That's my thought too.

[@thinkcasting3182]

Luckily they only charge $10,000 for this sort of removal.

[@KNRAdventures1]

I have no idea, I thought more.

[@billtaylor8871]

Dont get it know storms is coming leave boat tied up instead of moving it,,????,guess oh its got insurance ..dont make sense to me...

[@KNRAdventures1]

Well to be honest in my 30 plus years of boating many boats do just fine being left in the water and tied well. Around here many of the damaged boats were in boat lifts. My boat was left in the water at my dock. I put a few extra long lines to allow for storm surge and extreme tides. I don’t have a scratch on mine. But either way is no guarantee.

[@justoutoftime511]

It might be possible the owners were up north. It was not quite time for the snow birds to head south for the winter with this storm. There are boat owners that just don’t have a clue how to tie up a boat to deal with weather.

[@KNRAdventures1]

Exactly I’m sure many were not here.
