Lets hope everyone has a happy ending!
I can't think of a better way to celebrate a Hurricane!
I just went and checked on our boat. It weathered the storm well. Our bridge enclosure was no worse for the wear, and the windshield cover is still there too. We have it on a fixed dock, and get this, our neighbors in the boat behind us spent the night last night on their boat. They said the "12" lines that I had used did a great job and held well. They also said when they looked out their back window, that it looked really strange to see the swim platform on my boat 3 feet above the deck of the pier. Of course their's was too.
He also said there was (and still is) too much debris in the water to run the generator, his strainer clogs up very quickly. We are hoping to get our shore power back by this afternoon. As Gary said, they turned off the shore power early yesterday, well before the storms arrival. The water is down now, but there is no power in the neighborhood yet.
The bottom floor of the clubhouse suffered major flooding damage.
It was some eventfull night at the marina. Luckily we didn't loose power. It felt like some boats will take off by snapping the lines, but for the most part we didn't have a lot of damage to report, so I hope it stays that way. On another positive note all my prep work served well. I was concerned about my cockpit cover, but since it has shock-cords it held up fine. The bridge cover did a fantastic job.
Glad to hear boat and you were fine... Our neighbors informed us that all was well with our home and boats, so far... Looking forward to getting out to High Bar later this week...
My marina had a list of 60 boats to pull today and they said they probably wouldnt hit that number, we took the canvas down, put the mooring cover on deflated the dink tucked everything in the cockpit , added lines and fenders, disconnected shore power and said our prayers.
