Irma @ Green Cove Springs Marina ?

Has anyone seen or heard from people on the hard at Green Cove Springs Marina? What kind of disruption has occurred within the marina?
Thank You for any responses.

Re: Irma @ Green Cove Springs Marina ?

From what I've gotten so far only one boat on the hard fell off the stands. RF jib unrolled and it blew over.

Boat in the work yard. From the photo it looked like on the far left after you pass the office, backed up to the trees. Have not heard of any serious damage in the storage areas.

Lots of problems in the floating finger piers along the sea wall.

I have only seen the online videos for the town. Looked like a couple of feet of flooding. I guess they fared better than Jacksonville.

I saw a couple of photos of the marina. Looks like there was at least a foot or two of water in the parking lot but not deep enough to cause serious damage. I'm assuming they're back in operation.

Re: Irma @ Green Cove Springs Marina ?

Our broker sent some pictures of the boat and the suroundings in the storage area and it all looked fine. One boat next to us lost the head sail last year during Matthew and it's still flapping in tatters. I don't understand why people leave a boat in storage with the sails on. How long does it take to drop the sail?

Another interested GCS resident.

Our boat should be easy to spot.

It's the bananna!

I'm sorry but I can't. There was nothing much to see anyway, just our boat and a bunch of masts. The boat is in the Canada yard and none of the sun shade fabric or any of the tarps were out of place. Nothing looked different at all to any boat I could see.

Sounds like all is well, if a little damp.
