The call came into our dispatch center late that October evening around 2030 of a 51' sailing vessel aground on a public beach. The USCG immediately tended to passengers but weather conditions made it impossible to safely salvage the vessel at that time. The following morning as the salvage operation began the winds were blowing NE 20-25 knots and the seas were 5'-7'. The salvage required the use of a 165 ton all terrain crane. The salvage team assembled a make shift plywood runway was made in the sand to allow a crane access from the road to the salvage site for extraction. Several make shift sand cradles & berms were designed using a bobcat and excavator to temporarily hold the casualty while preparing it for haul out on a trailer.
Your guys did a great job on our charter at Port Canaveral. We had rough weather, major schedule changes, and other challenges, but never heard a single compliant. Adrian, Brendan, Tom, Ben, and Zach all were right on the spot when we needed the crane or captain or another boat movement. And the food... that was the best run of good food I think I've ever has in my life! Every single meal was both healthy and delicious.
