Hurricane and FEMA update

So far we have had to prove that our sailboat is our only legal residence. We have no "brick and mortar" home. And since we were not on board at the time of the hurricane we can only claim what damage was done to our home. SBA is requiring an appeal as well as FEMA. Not to mention that the boatyard has stated that no "live aboards" are at their boatyard when there is many people that ARE living on their boats at that location.

Davits before Hurricane Ian

Before Hurricane Ian

There was a rumor of a fatality when an anchor fell on a worker.

The boats have been lifted back on the jacks and so far it looks like the mast and Davits are causalities.

If we can’t float it safely we will have to sell it for salvage as our savings are exhausted.

We only had liability because it was supposed to be safe in the yard!

Also, we could not get adequate insurance without a recent survey and we had just finished the 10 year restoration and was going to do that before we took out the boat THIS MONTH (October 2022)!

It is just one of those things and at 75 and 68 there is a limited amount of resources available.

As always we will survive!

This would have been the month (October 2022) we would have returned to re-launch and sail away for the winter.

The hull is intact and can float without leaks we plan to motor over to the mooring and then at the end of winter we will complete repairs in Mississippi at a private dock that is up a river out of the hurricane zone!
