Re: I've done all I can up to God now.
Looks like we all are very lucky it stayed offshore. Highest wind I could find in Cape Canaveral was 107 MPH and a gust. I am waiting to hear about everyone else as I headed off to Atlanta to join my father and mother in hospital. procedure was smooth so that was a godsend also. I hope Main Event, which is on the hard faired well and Scott's 41 along with everyone else's boats. Jacksonville will be fighting a big surge from Matthew it seems.... Thanks for everyone checking in and keeping us all posted!

That's because in Japan, if you get caught stealing, they cut your fingers off. They don't have a problem with rape, either.

A good policy to follow...

Glad everyone seems to be getting though this OK. Looks like it's our time in the chute tonight. Four point moor at Windmill Harbor on Hilton Head. Should hit at high tide. Have two friends (2 boats) anchored in ICW near S. Edisto River on their 3rd set since last night--there was no storm last night. Looks like they may have made a bad choice, but maybe Matthew will turn. Hope so!

This is St Marys waterfront at the boat ramp about 1.5 hours ago. Live news report just showed the same area under water and flooding of downtown has begun, Storm is coming around 5 pm. St Augustine downtown is now flooding as the storm is passing.

Good to see her floating.
Re: I've done all I can up to God now.
Same here. A dock is nothing but a bunch of boards that help you get to the boat without tracking grass onto it. I know which one I'd rather fix.

We are in Windmill too. Left the boat about 9am and it was scary quiet and raining......Hoping for the best.
Sheriffs helicopter is down so I will have to do Beaufort county damage assessment as soon as weather allows.
