There is a big yellow boat that will take you out to see dolphins around the bay. Not too far from the bay we passed the Marina and there was the Lady. We had a very good view from the boat. It was an interesting moment on our dolphin cruise, to say the least.
[Janice Doler, 09/10/2023]She was damaged by hurricanes and is no longer there.
[Cori VanDevender, 06/24/2022]They are currently repairing her for a future date, so all hope is not lost. We met some locals who work in the same Bay that the Lady was in, and they explained that Hurricane Sally really messed her up. She was found in pieces and is being repaired somewhere.
[Krystal, 01/01/2022]The Lady is slated to return some time in 2022. Fiberglass artist Mark Cline is repairing his giant floating creation -- and making a backup Lady as well, in case another hurricane pays a visit.
This oddity was destroyed due to Hurricane Sally on September 14.
[Brooke Stulce, 10/02/2020]Mark Cline, who created the Lady, told us that "we are now in talks about repairing her," but added that "there's a possibility she'll never be restored."
