Re: Here we go again
Mike should be in the thick of it now. He's on the "dirty side" with greater storm surge, higher winds and a higher potential for tornadoes.
The good news is it looks like Sally is picking up speed (she was at about 1 mph for a while last night).
Mike, I am guessing electric is out. When you next log on to CDSOA know that all of the "hurricane victims/veterans" on this board are thinking of you and some of us are having a Guinness in your honor.

Re: Here we go again
I went to check on mine this morning but I couldn’t make it out to the boat. Low tide is 8:30 this evening so I might be able to make it then.

Re: Here we go again
David:
Hope she came thru fine! We're *finally* out of the snot.
Roberto:
You nailed it! We lost power about 0845 while I was at GGYC helping with a boat that broke a piling...
and then more and more of trying to get extra lines set and attempting to retain pieces of our dock that came loose.
Such fun...
Finally got power back a bit ago. Here's a glimpse of KAYLA between the trees. I'm actually on a pool deck that is 4 feet above the ground. Water had gotten up to the first step. During the last hours of brutal wind, she broke her port stern line and started mating with a couple of pilings... I was able to get out to the end of what was left of her dock and secure some fenders to ease her pain.
Will be a great treasure hunt tomorrow to sift thru the receding waters to see what all we can recover.
If you look carefully to the left, you can sort make out the roof of the GGYC tiki hut.
Water level there was above my waist...
PS: I'm damn glad this day is nearly done!

Re: Here we go again
Mike:
I am glad S/V Kayla appears to have survived. Clean up is always a PITA.
If I am reading your post correctly, you lost power around 0845 hrs Wed. and got it back around 2200 hrs. Wed., that is, about 14 hrs without a/c. That is amazing Where I live when electric goes out from even a moderate TS it is out for 5-7 days
Congratulations on surviving Sally.

Re: Here we go again
I finally made it out to the boat today and was able to climb aboard. Everything was fine. She leaks like normal and there was a ton of water in the bilge, but other than that I didn't notice anything damaged. Time to make my boat dry. I'm tired of constantly pumping the bilge out.
Let's hope no more big storms this year. This one was stressful enough.
So far it sounds like everyone in the area came away unscathed. Let's hope it stays that way.

Re: Here we go again
David,
Glad to hear you had no issues! I have no idea how much water KAYLA collected... but she does have a large solar panel and auto-majik bilge pump...
The down side of Sally was my port stern line broke so several sections of rub rail got beat away and a life line fitting was snapped.
Basically cosmetic stuff that I can live with till I have her hauled next year for bottom work.
Here's a pic from GGYC after the water got below the top off our "stove"...Yes! Wednesday that stove top was under water.

Re: Here we go again
Mike, the storm surge was way more than I ever expected. Sorry to hear about the rub rail. I'm missing a chunk on the starboard and port side of mine from a previous storm. I haven't replaced it yet. I plan on hauling mine out next month. Is there a place you recommend for bottom work, or do you do it yourself? I need the bottom painted and the cutlass bearing replaced. I'm going to try the bearing myself, but I don't want to mess with the paint.
Good news is that Sam Adams Octoberfest is now available at Winn Dixie, and that always helps

Re: Here we go again
Unfortunately, I reckon parts of our docks just weren't tacky enough...
This is the main dock: and this is (was?) KAYLA's dock: I have 4 sets of Tideminders on order now. Once installed, we'll probably not have high water again for a long time...
