And just now the larger commercial boat popped loose and drifted fast to the other side!!!
I have found every cleat on my Hatteras to be woefully inadequately. They are so small. I can barely...just barely get an everyday line on it with a storm line on top of that, and even then, the storm line is barely on the horn of the cleat; just barely. There is no way to triple cleat anything. I did the best I could with what I was given to work with. I've seen much smaller boats with ways bigger cleats than Hatteras provided. Just praying at this point.
Clears are a problem on just about every boat. The samson posts we have on the aft deck are nice, at the bow cleats can easily be upgraded. Mid ship cleats, yes, there should be at least one more.
Looks like we dodged a bullet. Not many details yet, all i got was a picture taken ealy with poor light. Looks like i took out one or two pilings on the aft port side due to lines stretching, so rub rail damage, most of the sprat panels are missing along with railing section.the slant side panel i had replaced is gone too and possibly the wing door... could have been worst.
I guess the list of stuff to work on in the yard when i hauo out for repower sept 29 just got a bit longer...
Hopefully everybody will start checking in, but given he can't post, I can tell you that Scott aka boatsb and family made it through with minimal damage. Hoping everyone else came through okay as well.
Mostly tree damage here moorings marina got torn up
Walk the plank
with my daughter Laura. Surfs up!
1955 Rybo one go the boats my daughter and her husband look after.
Still no power here about 11 last night saw the sky light up green probably a transformer explosion. Both bridges to the island are still closed due to light poles down on the bridges
I saw the Rybo before and I was going to ask about it but I figured you had your hands full. Beautiful boat.
Glad to hear that everybody has come through in good shape so far. Hopefully we keep hearing more of the same.
