Needless to say, the beach

took a heck of a beating.

Mikhaya did quite well...

BEFORE

AFTER

The dock was under water but still holding.

All that was lost was the wind generator off the stern.  Still looking for that!  Interesting to see the water level rise on the ICW.  My long lines were just long enough.  Anymore water rise and they would have snapped. 

Some Boats that didn't fair too well...

Fish left on the dock

 Some thoughts from Joe on Hurricane Charley--

     Our house had minimal damage from Charley. None on the interior. The eye went right over us at 145MPH. Had 8 lines on WINDSTAR in the canal, but a trawler broke loose and broke 5 of the lines. two other lines tore away chunks of the dock and the last one ripped a chain link fence post out of the concrete seawall.

Top Ten Reasons Hurricane Season is Like Christmas
10. Decorating the house (boarding up windows)
9. Dragging out boxes that haven't been used since last season

8. Last minute shopping in crowded stores
7. Regular TV shows pre-empted for "specials"
6. Family coming to stay with you
5. Family and friends from out-of-state calling
4. Buying food you don't normally buy ... and in large quantities
3. Days off from work
2. Candles

And the number one reason Hurricane Season is like Christmas ...

1. At some point you know you're going to have a tree in your house!
 

    William Hunnicutt down in Marathon Florida sent along some pictures of Polaris all ready for the big wind.  Don't everybody just wish they had a nice dock like this to tie up to in a Hurricane?
