Hurricane Irma

[Sea Hunt Video]

Tim:

Both Monty's and Dinner Key Marinas were badly damaged by Hurricane Irma. I have not personally been to either since the damage but have spoken with others who have been there. One of the newspaper articles described the damage as a bowling ball knocking over pins. Apparently, a few larger sailboats broke loose from moorings or their own anchors and were blown down onto boats at the marina docks. Bad scene.

Mike has a good memory. S/V Bali Ha'i is on a Triad Trailer in my driveway. She survived Hurricane Irma without a single scratch. All things considered, pretty amazing.

S/V Bali Ha'i is usually on her mooring at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club which is just south of Dinner Key Marina. When a hurricane watch is announced for Biscayne Bay ALL sailboats must evacuate the mooring field. Failure to do so results in loss of mooring privileges for a minimum of 1 year. I moved S/V Bali Ha'i some time ago in anticipation of doing work on her. Medical and personal issues have delayed progress.

I will shortly post on a thread labeled "Hurricane Maria". I would respectfully urge all readers to do what you can to help the American citizen children and adults who are helpless in the face of Hurricane Maria. Thank you.
