Update on the Buccaneer…
I just spoke with Shane. The recovery cost is expected to be OVER $30,000 minimum.
That number is overwhelming for one person to carry alone, especially for a hardworking shrimper just trying to get his boat, and his livelihood, back in the water.
The Buccaneer isn’t some abandoned boat on the beach. It’s how Shane makes a living. It’s how he supports himself and his family. Right now he needs his community behind him.
So I’m asking everyone: if you can donate, please do. If you can’t, share this post. Get it in front of as many eyes as possible.
Sometimes communities come together and do incredible things for people who truly need it. Let’s do that here.
I’ll pin the GoFundMe link in the comments below. ⚓️❤️
