GOOD NEWS!!!!!! (Heavy Air)
 

We made it through the storm just fine, it was a long night as I thought it
would be! The phone died shortly after midnight that night when the water
was over the dock a couple feet. It was a pretty comfortable ride all in
all. I adjusted lines again at 2 am and actually slept until 3:30! I let
out about a foot of line on the lee side and slept until 7 am! When I got
up there were a few folks standing on their decks geezing at the water, it
looked like a huge raft-up with no visible pilings. We had about 5' of
water over the dock, the picnick table vanished and my half barrel garden
moved about 3' after it was submerged. For those of you who know Annapolis:
McNasby's has huge holes in two brick/cinderblock walls, the roof was torn
off Jabin's building, the Chart House (old Trumpy finishing sheds) lifted
off the pilings and came back down wierd so they may be toast. City Dock
is a disaster, most of the restaurants and businesses were flooded.
Fawcetts is trashed and I heard there were kids jumping off it's roof into
Ego Alley Friday. There were sunk boats, boats up on shore, and blocked
boats that fell over, blown out windows, knocked down trees, and lots of
water! I helped clear out the water at Muller's where he had about 4"
inside. The dog loved playing in the surf in the boatyard Friday and I had
fun helping retrieve the dumpster which had floated up the street! There
were huge log jams in the streets so driving has been a challenge. The
Natl. Guard was here and things are quickly getting back to normal.

Seahag, glad that's over!

Got word that my boat made it through the storm just fine. What a
relief!!!! still can't get down to her, as the road into the marina is
closed, police barricades et al.

Scotty, a happy camper once again.

Scotty,

It is that Surge that has me worred, on here in the NW.

I remember those Surges when I lived back East. Those shallow bbodies of
water would lift boats above those pilings that they were moored to and
as the water went out, the boat would be impailed by the pilings as they
settled. Hope this isn't the case with our group.

OT

I don't think you're out of the woods yet. I predict your area
will be hit by a second, even stronger storm before the season
is over. Glad you came through the first one OK.

S.Simon - rarely wrong.

Yup, you did.

If you were going to take the time to look it up, you could have at least said how it is
defined.

How old is that chart? All of my US charts from the recent past use MLLW
as the datum for
soundings. I even checked in my Chesapeake ChartKit to see if they were
different.

OK - Here's a quiz: What's the meaning of LLWLT?

Lower Low Water Large Tide.


Sounds similiar to LAT.

This is the same "weather expert" who thinks that there is no such
thing as fog so thick that you can't see the bow of your boat. If
Simon says you are about to be hit by a hurricane, you can relax -
you're as safe as safe can be. He's always off by 500 to 1000 miles.


The thickest fog ever measured exists within your thick skull.
X-rays failed to penetrate it.

You know nothing about sea fog and you never will because
you're too afraid to sail your flimsy Crap&Crap 27 anywhere
but in very sheltered waters. Even Bobsprit is a better sailor
than you and he rarely sails.

S.Simon - the one and only

The fog around here can be so thick as to prevent one
from seeing the bow of a 40 foot boat.

Try sailing in the vicinity of Mt. Desert Island sometime. Better
bring along someone who knows what they are doing. You'll be as
helpless as a baby.

I've seen similarly thick fog on the LIS, but not nearly so often!

You actually have to go sailing to see LIS fog, dumbass!
There's plenty of fog in the mornings on the LIS. All you have to do is upgrade
to a boat you can sleep on and you'll see some.

Hoooh ahhh!!!

To tell you the truth, I'm not terribly concerned with the rampblings of
someone who thinks a comic book character is God.

The Aesir hold a lot of concern for you to spend so many years
honoring them with your vulgar opposition. You clearly think
they are worth opposing.

Seek medical help.

Here (and the UK I believe) it is the "lowest astromical tide". If you
think about it, that is the only sensible datum for a _sounding_!
