[h=1][COLOR=var(--ricos-custom-p-color,unset)]Seriously, she has officially passed and is actually north of Tampa Bay now. But how did we fare here on Pau Hana in Fort Myers? Well, the starboard galley slider window needs pulled out just enough to put butyl tape in then rebedded with new screws in the frame. The bow deck hatch weatherstripping needs replaced (never leaked before unless it was unlatched). The doubled up lines did their job, the fenders did theirs, and my homemade rain diverters for the flying bridge scuppers worked better than expected while not looking too redneck engineered. Scrap pieces of isenglass glued into the scuppers to make half-moon runoff diverters.
I'd say we came thru with flying colors. None of the leaks that happened in this storm's passing had happened before.[/COLOR]
