We really got clobbered last night....lots of boats

knocked off their
moorings, dragged and a few sunk....It was a bad day for a

lot of
people.
Look at this C&C(?) being towed away after it dragged it's

mooring
(which then fouled another boat and snapped) and hit the

bridge!

and the bridge itself....a 33 foot boat pinned against it.

Another boat
can be seen trapped beneath in the BG and that's what's

left of a wood
spar as well from another boat that partially sank on the

other side.
Two hours later a 40 foot blue water cruiser of some kind

also popped
the mooring and hit the bridge. 3 boats were also washed

ashore that I
could see. Once again our club and her slips took minimal

damage. I
went there at 6:00 am to add some lines to Heart of Gold

and she had
lost a spring line, but was fine. I came back at 11:00 and

the carnage
was ongoing. Police and FDNY were running around.

I'm hoping to go sailing tomorrow.
