New Marker on the Sunken Vessel in Gulfport Mooring Field, Boca Ciega Bay, near GICW Statute Mile 115
Skipper Burnham has been a tremendous help in helping boaters avoid this sunken trawler in the Gulfport mooring field, see /?p=145996, /?p=146123 and /?p=146113. And again, he has shown true seamanship by attaching a new marker to the wreck. Well Done David! Gulfport is one of the newest SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSORS!
Yesterday, we attached a yellow DANGER marker to the sunken wreck in Boca Ciega Bay to more clearly mark the hazard. The yellow marker has my name and cell phone number on it in case it goes adrift as the wreck breaks up.
There is obvious damage clearly visible on the upper part of the wreck where it has been struck by boaters.
