If it floats it would make a good house boat/home.

That's a fine start for a redneck house boat!

We had some salvage questions on the USCG 100T test waaaaay back when. 3 or 4 IIRC.
But your right,these laws have to do with "open waters" or if the vessel is going to do more damage if not taken in tow. Been a good while for me. --- SAWMAN

After HM, there a couple dozen power and sail boats well grounded in the marshes and partially submerged around our bay and Lagoon. Over time they were Tagged with Notices and number searched for last registered ownership. Some were stripped, of all value in a few weeks, others moved and some still sit as eyesores that won't rot away. The Panama City Marina was hammered too. A company was called in and the used barges with cranes to raise wrecks, barged them to shore. I don't know how the documentation or disposal went from there. More than likely fuel/oil was drained, HE crushed them with engines and mast going to recycling and the rest to the Landfill.

We were hired after Ivan to drag shrimp nets across the bottom to clean up. Some of the fisherman said “it’s not enough money” I responded “you’ll clean it up with them paying you, paying for fuel, providing nets, or we can clean it up on our own during shrimp season” I cleaned up square miles of water ways, it was insane, I caught the entire roof of a house one time.

It has, my brother hooked onto it while on his way back in today, it had washed into the middle of our little bayou. He drug it up to the launch and I drug it out from there.

We’ve found kayaks, a couple guys found jet skis, a floating dock, but mostly I found lumber. After Katrina I built a trailer for my 4-wheeler and drug lumber out of the marsh for months. I placed 10x10 piling on the ground and stacked 2x m6s,8s,10s,&12s flat 20+feet wide almost 7’ tall and then started another pile that reached 5’ and someone lite it all on fire. I put it out twice but he kept relighting it, he was upset that me and a few others were collecting it. It wasn’t his property, he didn’t even live nearby, just jealous I guess.
It’s interesting what washes up sometimes.

I believe that is called beach combing.
Not to be a downer or anything but, anyone checked out the path of Invest 92L?

It’s different when it’s in the water.
The worst thing to catch in a shrimp net is a palm tree, that thing simply won’t come out. I caught a dumpster once, multiple garbage cans, a safe, lawnmowers, TVs, coaches, recliners, I once had to help another boat that caught a Volkswagen Beetle, but it was mostly pilings, lumber, and household junk.
Scouting the marsh-line is mostly lumber, I sold almost 150 treated telephone poles, 8x8s, & 10x10s after Katrina. Averaged $40 per

If you are selling any marine grade timber/lumbar this year I would gladly buy some.

Nothing this year, most of the instances I mentioned occurred after Ivan and Katrina
Basically if Dauphin island gets tore up, it’s in my back yard.

There are computer models out now for Tropical depression 26. It could be following the exact same tract as Hurricane Sally. It depends upon when it makes itsturn to the north east.
What I am not understanding is that they still have an Invest 92L out there in just about the same area.
