Hurricane Captain's call

Not bad in downtown St. pete area. A few boats broke loose in the muni marina and one sail boat sank in the Vinoy marin because it got stuck under the concrete docks after the tide came back in. Poor dock line positioning IMO.
The bay was down about 5-8' feet below MLW for a while before it got dark. Wind was strongest before the eye so it was off shore lowering the water and reducing wave damage.
Land side many trees are down, lots of power outages. Sunshine Skyway and other bridges into Pinellas county have finally reopened.

I took the 82' I run to Roland Martin's in Clewiston. All good, no issues.
Heading back to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow.

I put mine on the trailer and took it to the dealer. There was a recall on the steering system, so killing 2 birds with one boat haul. They have not called post-storm. I assume no news is good news. I'll give them a few more days as it is crazy here. ... Then I'll call them to check how the boat weathered the storm.

About as good as possible.
Garage did not flood so car is ok. Surge was not big and a1a was not broached so boat is ok. Building did not lose power so freezer is ok. Minor damage on the grounds.
Very lucky.

Some minor roof damage. No leaks. Everything else okay. Power came back Tuesday evening at 9:45 PM. Genny kept freezer and fridges cold. Just a lot of clean up and putting stuff up. Boat was not damaged at all. Just got to clean a small amount of trash out of the cockpit area. Overall God was looking out for those that prepared before the storm.
Drove home to Jacksonville from Atlanta today, 400 miles in the RV. We were on the road at 0400 and saw the I-75 rest areas full of cars and trucks, but the drive was easy. House, boat, boat lift, dock and pool all OK. We are blessed!
