I have tried adding pics don't know if they appear yet. 3 of us came out last night. Us Papa's Toy and our friend paul. Mac and I made it to 5 fingers and holed up just before a thunderstorm hit. Paul was 20min behind us and got caught in it. As he approached wilderness a strong wind caught
His boat a 13000lb cruiser and blew him sideways 100ft into a shoal. His jet ski wrapped around the shoal marker and kept him from grounding. He was able to trimm the out drives all the way up before the water got too shallow. His bow was in inches pf water and stern in 4 feet. He was not taking on water and was not moving. We had planned to wait put the storm which appeared to be passing in about 45min and then go assist. We got a window of about 30min and another storm developed behind. Paul was able to see in between storms that he could back out of the shoal area and did. He made it over to us in a protected cove where we all holed up for the second lighter storm. Pics of this morning attached I hope
Here's a couple of pics of the shallow water that Paul ended up on. These were taken as we were leaving Five Fingers so he would have been headed towards us. You can see the three markers in the first pic. He was about 100 ft to the left as viewed from the 1st shallow water marker when the wind blew him between the 1st and second causing his jet ski to wrap around the marker and stop him from grounding.
I'll add video of the raft up later on.
