Drift Away survives.
Irene sped up to 25 MPH, which had her past us at high tide, and instead of the wind hitting us from the east, it was right on our bow out of the south.

If the surge was four more feet, we would have floated off our piling.

Pam and I are very grateful that Drift Away survived the storm without a scratch. And also to our friend Christine for giving us and our dogs shelter. I'm beat. That's it for now. Time for a victory beer. Naw. Time for a few victory beers.
I think we all lucked out with this blow.
ReplyDeleteThe Bahamas seemed to feel the most wind. A friend of mine who rode it out clocked 130mph. Yet, even they suffered little damage. Not sure if this is luck or we're better prepared to deal with these blows.
enjoy those victory beers. I think I will have one with you.
