Just wondering how some East Coast boaters are coping. ... Glad I'm not there.

It's a mixed bag here in Virginia. We're moored at the Chesapeake Yacht
Center on Broad Creek near Deltaville. The piers where most sailboats
moore (including ours), and one covered pier were essentially untouched
but a few yards away the covered pier adjacent to land was literally
blown away. With boats on pilings and each other we feared the worst but
only one boat was lost - a sailboat on the hard that was hit by the roof
of the pier. OTOH Deltaville was still without power Sunday and we were
told that one life was lost, the poor folks on the south side of the
neck here hit much worse, and that The Happy Clam seafood resturant on
the Potomac north of Colonial Beach had been washed away.

I can only hope the good people in No Carolina fared better.
