How did you make out?

Has anyone heard from Vic? Hey Vic, how are you guys?

Here are some pics from this morning in Groton, CT.

My boat did fine, no damage. However the blocks washed out from under my keel and the boat is sitting in the stands. Seems solid for now.

The weird part is that the recovered female crew who later died ashore is described as a direct descendant of Fletcher Christian.

Some coincidences seem more meaningful than others.

Do not know at this point in time. All roads are still blocked by downed trees most of the power is still out. Everyone is just starting to dig out and see the damage.

you need to get some chocks in under soon as possable
as the stands will cause dents in the hull if she is glass

We do read a lot overhere, but has it started yet or not. We have had many storms this summer, I was hooked up in a shifter that took my 5000 kgs wandering. Happened on the IJsselmeer.
People say it is HAARP provoked. Who tells?

We weathered the storm on board at Herrington Harbour South. Minimal to no damage to any of the boats that we can see. Winds were less than Irene but for longer duration. Last hurtle is this afternoon's high tide at 5:13- water is already high with the southerly winds. Water will probably go just over the docks but not by much.

All said it could have been much worse here.

The Marina will not let us near the boat. I suspect they have higher priorities right now. Hopefully they will get it done today.

Man we forgot the Rum, now I know why we didn't get enough sleep.

We're doing just fine!
It looks like it's all over. We have an extremely high tide right now so can't leave the boat because the dock bridge is under water. We had a bit of chafe on one of the forward lines but nothing major.
Worst problem was a new leak over our berth. Fixed it with some 3 am plumbing.... tape and dowel for it to track along, into a pot!

My current problem is the genny died soon after starting up this morning.

The raw water filter was full of crap, which is hardly surprising. We cleaned it out, started up again, temp came down slowly but climbed again as soon as I put load on. I'm letting it cool for a few hours. In the mean time I'll check coolant, v belts etc. If they're all ok it will probably be the impeller. I've got spares.

Don't you just love boats???

Did you hear anything from the Marina your boat is at?
