Wull, I have to agree with you about the floating docks. We always keep
ours at a floating dock, and I wouldn't be anyplace else. Fewer worries
during storms.

Ringmaster made out fine at the floating marina in Baltimore. I was
down
there at 1:30 AM Friday morning at what I thought would be the height of
the
winds and tides. The docks had about 4 feet to go before they would go
"over
the top" A friend called me Friday afternoon when the storm was gone to
tell
me the surge had grown more. The docks got within 10"-12" from going
"over
the top" I sailed the boat back to it's home marina today. The place had
been
under water Thursday night but there didn't seem to be any damaged boats.
I
still think it was a good move going to a floating marina.
Best news was that the power was back on when I got home.

Glad to hear your boat's OK. When you sailed home, did you encounter much
debris? I keep hearing it will be tuff to sail the Bay for a week or two due
to floating debris.

Luck you don't sail!

The word 'bobspit' followed by 'sailing' is a grammatical error of the
highest caliber. Shame on you Cappy!

Not really. I started to see lots of wood floating when I got outside the Key
Bridge. I was expecting to see refrigerators after hearing people talk on the
news. I saw more trash on Tuesday on the ride up than I saw yesterday.

Actually, we didn't sail home - we keep the boat in Fell's Point. But there
is still a lot of debris in the Patapsco - large chunks of wood probably
from docks.
I did see a few of the Army Corps of Engineers cleaning crews out on the
waters, picking stuff up. But even with that, we stil saw more stuff today.
Really need to be careful while sailing around.
Yeah, we went for a sail today, simply because it was so quiet on the
water - very few boats out.
