You're right, the water is definitely high. I forwarded the URL's to a
friend who keeps his boat about five boats north of the ramp, on the same
side. Haven't heard back yet, but I'm sure he'll be interested.

Thanks for posting them.

The fancy side of BP has no water above the bulkhead, or, at least,
didn't when I drove through.

All the slips on the ramp side have water over the bulkheads. I'm
trying to decide whether to yank out Yo Ho.
Is Yo Ho in the water? Given the winds, I might check the lines, but I
don't think I'd try to move her in the water.

Nope. On the trailer, but 40' away from the bulkheads.


If the water looked like it would rise over the hubs, I might move it just
to keep the sand and crap out. To do any real harm the water would have to
get up another four to six feet, no? Are the folks at Breezy manning the
store today? Could they give you a shout if the water looked like it might
get up to cause damage to the trailer?

I just took another look. It's *really* pouring now, and the wind has
kicked up.

The bulkheads on the "fancy" side are beginning to overflow, but it is
no worse on the ramp side than it was four hours ago. Yo Ho is still
completely on the dry.


Glad to hear it. It looks like the worst is over here, although there are
still some pretty strong gusts bending the oaks.

We lost our electricity for about three seconds. Somehow this electric
company, Dominion Virginia, manages to keep our power going even though
there are some 200,000 folks in VA without power. Maybe I'll send a bonus
in my next payment!
