Boat Survived Hurricane Charley?

Any mooring tips that they could share used during Hurricane Charley?


No, not really. We weathered the storm quite well. The house
suffered only storm clean-up damage... tree limbs, leaves.. that sort
of thing.

The boat survived unscathed, save the loss of a fender.

Highest recorded local gust? 78 MPH....

Ist row houses had 6 inches of water (above the sand) and the storm
hit at low tide. Sea foam was blown into the 3 row......

Analysis? We ducked another bullet.....

We did, too. Some of the NOAA tracking predictors had the storm coming
up the western shore of the bay, but it shifted eastward. We had some
rain, no serious wind. High tide was pretty high Saturday night, but it
was going to be the month's highest tide anyone, I think.
