Small craft warning means no small craft should be operating. It doesn't mean small craft can operate within the reef. Now we all know that isn't practical, since folks live up and down the coast - but it should mean no taking guests out on dive, snorkeling and manatee watching tours.

Trouble is that warning has often been in place when it was quite safe to take boats out. A case of crying wolf..... In any case, it's far from clear that that was a primary factor in this incident.

I wonder how much the fine will be for damage to the reef.

there may not be any reef damage since they are in the cut (30 ft deep in some areas there.)

The best way to get an invite is to book a room! The invite is formally called a travel voucher! LOL

Seriously it is hard to bring people up from town and get them back to town as our boats generally do the opposite. A lot of people stop in at our restaurant on fishing trips etc. PM me as to what you had in mind.

As to try not to steal the thread.... That boat is clearly sitting on the reef.
