Good news is that we just got back to the boat and everything is AOK.
The inflatable dinghy was full of water but the outboard and gas tanks
stayed above. It started right up - thank you Mr. Honda. :-) The
generator on the big boat stayed running for the entire two days so
the fridges and freezer are good, and the batteries are all charged
up. Thank you Mr Kohler. There's some tree damage along the edge of
the creek where we anchored but nothing that impacted us. The
surrounding area (Green Cove Springs, FL) is without power and has
some relatively minor damage.

Glad to hear all was well.

I'm worried about daughter in Savannah. They can't get back to there house yet because of downed
trees and flooding. Their homeowner's insurance has a $9000 deductible for wind damage (e.g. felled
trees on roof), and they've got one of the better policies in the neighborhood.

Thanks, hope your daughter is OK. We have similar insurance issues
with the boat (very high deductible), and it doubles for damage in any
"named" storm. To add insult to injury, for anything other than a
total loss, they start making depreciation adjustments based on their
estimate of the useful life of the damaged component, e.g., paint jobs
are estimated to have a useful life of 10 or 12 years, canvas a useful
life of 6 years, etc., on and on. For all practical purposes we treat
the boat as though it is self insured.
