My Dad is overseas and Mom has been sending me pics of her pier/boat. She went and tied the boat off yesterday under the pier (they haven't lived there long and haven't owned the boat long. Not like they deal with this situation everyday so she thought she was doing a good thing so it didn't float off).

I posted them today on the OT in the Flood Thread and everyone is telling me to tell her to get that boat out while she still can. Well, the water at this point is about waist deep and she doesn't have any chest waders just laying around to get out there to pull it out.

Both of these pics were taken in the last hour and a half.





OT says she needs to get it out while she still has time.

Email me at tgrpox@gmail.com if you can help or know someone who may be able to. Thanks ya'll and my thoughts are with everyone having to deal with this right now.

UPDATE:

offshoretrash had a friend nearby who reached out to Mom to help and he is enroute.

Thanks to redfield to NascarFan for reaching out as well. :)


UPDATE2

Thank you so much, offshoretrash, Mom said she told your friends "Thank you from a distance" but she wanted me to tell you thanks a million and if you ever want a cheesecake let me know and she will have one ready for you!!!



The OB saved Pox's Parent's Party Boat!!

Agreed, I'd be there in a heartbeat if I lived closer. Someone do a good deed and help them out!

your problem will be that all of the launches are under water. Going to take a 14' bateau with a small outboard to make that happen and not everyone has one.

Also appears there may be a facebook group or two with people in this area. Another place to try posting. From the looks of the previous pictures, I'm not sure someone would need a boat to fix this situation.

Here is a pic when the water was lower, may not need a boat. Just some waders and a life jacket.

Not trying to be an arse but couldn't someone just walk out there without waders? Is a boat and/or waders necessary I guess is what I'm asking.
