South Shore Harbour! I'll never leave there!

Our boat was on 11, properly secured, and didn't even get a scratch!



The only boats I saw with dings were the ones that used POS lines, or never came down to re-tie for the hurricane. (A piece of mind is waiting for them when I see them...) I tied up several with my lines, so I wouldn't get damaged.

If you want to see how high the pier got, there is a mark on one of the starboard side poles near the end.

That's wonderful...glad your boat came though

I guess "sensitivity" is the first word that pops in my head right now

good one Brad, like the guy who got ranted for the person who lost their boat and did not move it before the storm

Hey, didn't mean anything by it. Mont, please take this post down. It obviously didn't come out like I wanted it to.

Maybe they couldn't get down to tie down their boat properly....just a thought. Good news anyways.

I was at SSH Pier 13 on Monday and couldn't even find a scratch on a boat. There was some sail damage on most sailboats but no Eisenglass damage even on boats left up. I was relieved to see that one marina faired so well because driving in from Houston you will see many many boats aground or sunk.

What I learned about hurricanes this go around is that if you have a place on the coast make sure that you realize one day it can disappear, if you have a boat on a trailer make sure that it is nowhere near the storm surge, if you have a boat in the water make sure it is on a floating dock, and if you have a family home make sure that it is high above the storm surge and has a backup permanent generator. And finally I found a good reason to drive an obnoxious diesel truck in downtown Houston, everywhere had diesel and fuel was not hard to come by.
