Tripp & I have been in Port Pierce Florida this week getting the new ferry approved & ready for transport to Charleston.
Tuesday Mike Wyatt the owner of Sea Hawk Boats worked with us to complete the boat.
Wednesday the builder oriented Tripp and I on the boat's systems and sea-trialed the boat.
Dewees Breeze passed her sea-trials gustily.
Breeze accepted on behalf of the Dewees Community
Thursday we spent the day with the US Coast Guard who approved the vessel's loading and stability for 14 passengers and 2 crew
During the stability test the USCG attempted to tip the boat over by loading water filled 55 gallon drums on one side of the boat weighing 3460 pounds ( 16 passengers)
They did not succeed.
Friday - the boat is on the truck en route to Charleston.SC.
It will take 3 weeks before we receive all the final paper work needed to Certify the boat from Coast Guard Miami Group and Charleston.
Then you can enjoy the
Dewees Breeze.
