The boat has been lightened not only of its fuel but also 8 totes of tuna. As of 5:30 pm (just after high tide) today there was no activity on the beach and a crowd of hopeful onlookers continues to wait for the boat to be floated off the sands.

A tote weighs about 1,200 lbs, depending in the type of fish
