Looking for some information on YouTube, came across this video, that I want to share with you. It also made me think that I sold my 320 to a family that moved it to that area. I hope they are ok.
I wish everybody that was affected a fast recovery.

In the canals that I live on in Cape Coral there were 25 boats out of about 70 that got loose from their lifts, and three of them needed crane removal. The rest were able to be reset on lifts and manually recovered from the mangroves that they ended up in, but there were several that had motors submerged and one capsized on the way back to a lift after being on its side in the mangroves. Messy situation here, and we are inland from the Gulf by probably 10 miles. Those closer to Sanibel, Captiva and Fort Myers Beach were much worse off. I lucked out/prepared well and ended up with no damage and the boat stayed on the lift.
Pray for those here who lost it all. There are many.

Wow a lot of effort! Very tragic.
Hope you're doing well Pepe, long time no see around these parts. Do you have another boat?

I still keep my subscription ready. remembering when 5 or 6 of us (Richard, Glenn, you, Mike Team Ruby and myself) decided to move out from the other forum (sorry if I missed someone), and now more that 1000 owners and guests here. Incredible. Great success. Unfortunately didn't buy a new boat. I am using my business partner SeaRay 50 Sedan Bridge and a 35 Donzi when I go out (few times) but I miss my 320, got a lot of memories. Thank you for your wishes, hope you and everyone the best.

Hay Pepe, Great to hear from you glad all is well. And I agree the site has really become a fantastic source for for Sailfish owners.
Ive reached reached out to team ruby a few times through text messaging. And for the life of me I still don't understand why he just removed himself from the forum.

Thanks Glenn. As I said, am still active here and following all of you guys. I've seen that Team Ruby is not as active as he was. What a great source of knowledge he had and shared with all of us. Stay safe.
