New Bern

[johnjen50]

Anyone heard from anyone in New Bern? I saw 10 ft surge and lots of flooding this morning. On the Hatt Facebook page they have provided some space for Fountain Power Boats. Knit Wits and Hatterascal were brought inside. Those sheds must be pretty strong!

The eye hit land in wrightsville beach. Im not sure how hard its hitting them but I know my dads 31 express is there. I hope.

The news says most evacuated. Hopefully no loss of life.

The problem is the surge in the sounds and rivers. So far none of the tide stations from moorehead to myrtle are reporting any significant surge. None of the weather stations along the shore are reporting anything greater than 60kts sustained.

This is what happened in New Burn at the town marina.
Bad.
Start watching close at about time stamp 1:10.
I believe you will see a big Hatteras bobbing around.

Surge has peaked at high tide in Wrightsville beach about 3' above normal which isnt too bad

New bern is a mess... with winds out of the south east the marina is exposed to a long fetch. Sad sight, i doubt any of these boats are going to make it with hours of pounding yet to come

New Bern is getting hammered with the rising water. Lots of friends and family there along with real time Facebook updates.

In that 1st video that looks like a 70 motor yacht and to the right is another Hatt motor yacht maybe a 58. Hope they make it but it doesn’t look good especially as slow as the storm is moving. John

That 70 foot Hatt looks like she is taking the swells in stride. The pier.....not so much.

Just watched our local CBS news cast and it looks like that guy sold that New Bern video to CBS it was featured on our local news. John

We have a place on the ICW just south of Wrightsville Beach, the eye went over our place and we are told that the damage has been minimal. No water in the lower level and some shingles missing but nothing like we were expecting. Scott do you know what marina your dad’s boat is in? I might get info on it as I have friends calling in and giving me reports.

I can report that the 70 Hatteras in the YouTube video is floating and intact. Took a little bit of bruising as it jumped up and over 2 pilings and into the next to slip over. She will have some bumps and bruises, will need a new swim platform, but is still floating And did not take on water. At the same dock. There were quite a few vessels lost including a brand new Nordic tug!. I'm not sure why people didn't haul every vessel out, I know there was limited space nearby but we had plenty of warning for this storm. Fortunately there is been no loss of life in Newbern and vessels can be replaced and rebuilt.

Here's what the New Bern waterfront looked like from my hotel room on July 20th 2018.

He just moved to a new one in Carolina beach. I believe it's a Joyner now. It's a little 31 tiarra express with a bridge.

I appreciate any information we can get.

Atlantic marine in Wrightsville says the LEOs are telling them the dry stack and the marina buildings and boats are in good shape but the docks are a mess. I am pretty sure Joyner is right at the entrance to snow’s cut. I have not heard anything about that area. BTW I used to have a 31 Tiara and it was one of my favorites. Don’t know if Joyner’s has a facebook page but you could try that. My place which very close to Carolina Beach already has it’s power back on. Don’t know if that is an anomaly or not.

 

[Boatsb]

Thanks.

 

[Finalee]

Love mine.

 

[Boatsb]

It's an 80's boat and I found it with 4lh yanmars almost installed 10 or so years

He didnt want the bridge but it was already there.

 

[Finalee]

Solid boats. Mine is a 1988 express. 6bta power. No where near the room of the 43 but a whole lot faster.
