ORMOND BEACH, FL - - On our recent trips along the Halifax River we've noticed that Hurricane Irma broke up a lot of piers and walkways plus sunk a number of boats that couldn't reach safe shelter. In the top two pics, the sailboat is intact and floating. Just how it got into this location appears to be a mystery. The boat rests in a land-locked body of water very near the Halifax River where it should be. Did high tide combined with wind and storm surge wash it in?
The bottom pic is of what's left of a sailboat which was rammed by the elements into the park's main fishing pier. It had a nice metal mast, but that was being salvaged / stolen just before I shot the photo.
So who has the better story to tell the insurance folks...the owner with the sunken boat or the guy with a reasonably intact boat but the challenge of trying to move it back into its logical location - - the river.
