The "Pair-o-Dice" junk casino boat got blown into the flats during Wilma on the Gulf side...around Cudjoe or Sugarloaf. The story I heard was that they were headed North and the storm got bad...and the Capt. jumped in the tender and took off...

I was getting to believe that my friend was telling me a story. I hear that the only way this boat would get of the flats is to wait for another storm like the last one.

I've seen where it is from US-1...haven't been up that way on the water. I can't imagine they will ever get it off there in one piece. The boat looked like a real junker before the storm. I wouldn't have gone to sea on it without my own personal ditch bag and PFD!
