Re: Pitch In And Help

By the way, I am moving from the area Nov. 1. However, it isn't a problem restricted to my current little corner of Boca Ciega Bay, and it's an issue I will continue to consider. I may get active...

Re: Pitch In And Help

Well, that's been Burki's claim all along, that everyone was out to get him.

Glad you wrote that letter.

Re: Pitch In And Help

I had the same thought about the Good Samaritan laws and checked Florida's. Florida's is all about emergency medical help. I'm not a lawyer but I don't think there's any way that law offers...

Re: Pitch In And Help

I'm not surprised that Jay took that tack. However, any lawyer would have access to the previous court hearings involving Mr. Burki. This also means that any judge who heard a new lawsuit from Burki...

Re: Pitch In And Help

I've been out of town and then down with a nasty bug. I'm going to try to find out today, although with new tackle including (heard here) chain, he was probably all right. There seems to be some kind...

Re: Pitch In And Help

Personally I think he should stay where he is until everything is settled. This is a man at a difficult point in his life and he seems to have some loyal friends in the area. Especially if he has to...

Re: Pitch In And Help

There's an anchorage there, with a good number of derelict boats. The city of St. Petersburg has been cracking down on it, and I don't think moving his boat there will solve anything. He could end up...

Re: Pitch In And Help

People who are going to anchor out should have a proper mooring. Of the boats out in Boca Ciega Bay who have that, none have moved in storms.

Re: Pitch In And Help

I would like to see a weather report showing 70 mph winds in the Gulfport area. It did hang around a long time, but ... I'm sorry, but both tropical storms and hurricanes frequently do that ... and...

Re: Pitch In And Help

I wasn't HERE for it? No, it didn't come close to bordering on a hurricane *in Gulfport.*

I was on my boat the entire time. I could see Boca Ciega Bay from my slip.

Re: Pitch In And Help

"A "tropical storm" usually refers to a tropical low pressure area whose winds have increased to at least 35 knots (about 40 mph) but less than 65 knots (about 75 mph, which then becomes...

Re: Pitch In And Help

If you're talking about the motor-sailor aground on the edge of the bayou, it's been there a very long time. He's run aground before and it was impounded by the Coast Guard in the recent past.

Oh c'mon, Steve. That WAS a mild tropical storm! I was on my boat the entire time and the boat hardly moved. Now the thunderstorm we had a year ago April -- my boat heeled over 30 degrees right in...

Re: Pitch In And Help

Here's the thing. If I'm living in a homeless shelter -- or in a box on the street -- my box, or cot, is not going to come crashing into your boat when we inevitably have another bad storm. I'm not...

I knew Gulfport Vet would step up. They work with people who don't have the means immediately to pay for what an animal needs all the time.

You have done all that you can do and more than anyone could have reasonably expected of you. The ball is now in Jay's court, exactly where it belongs. He has a much extended deadline now -- 90 days...

Re: Pitch In And Help

I hope they will show as much diligence in trying to catch whoever is harassing Hatch, a live-aboard who creates problems for no one that I'm aware of.

Re: Pitch In And Help

I am very concerned for his welfare once he returns to the boat. That must have been a very badly broken jaw. It is no doubt wired shut, and the only food he will be able to eat will come through a...

Oh there is an anti-boating faction in Gulfport. By the way, the town's avatar is ... a sailboat!

Guess what those people (the anti-boating people) want to do?

Tear down the marina and build...

What "Gulfport Guardians?" You mean the City Manager, who cooperated as much as he could given that the beach was open? Or the Gulfport Gabber, a good small0-town paper that covered the story? Or...

For me that isn't the issue.

FOR ME -- it's whether something like this will...
