Delaney is also moored in Oriental, NC. We came out fine also. Pecan
Grove Marina is a dug out harbor and very protected, we also have a team
of volunteers that monitor dock lines during storms. My boat did pull up
a dock cleat (and two dock boards) on a bow line, but they had put a
second line to another cleat that held well. The boat was incredibly
dirty after the storm, but not so much as a scratch even though we had
9.6' of water rise on a fixed dock!

So ooo glad we all made my 37 (first year with her or any bigger boat)
was docked at whittaker creek east dock in Oriental I stripped her to
the bone i tied her off and retied many times. Lines at top on piles
6-7 ft over water line I have 3 piles on starboard and 4 on port bow
in so much more than most marinas.The big stuff was from the north so
we faired prettywel. 2 days later I finally heard she was happily
resting mid slip with nary a scratch ! For a reward I headed to west
marine and bought her all new VPC running rigging Even a few cool
colors for some bling.
Sails are at the loft while off and little touch up stiching uv cover
good cleaning, and we should finish the season strong ! Yard work??
well diff story

Richard,
I anchored her out on Tuesday, 9/11. I was the only boat there at the
time. I've anchored my 35mk2 in that location many times. I like it
because no one else anchors there and there is enough deep water that
if it blows out I don't pound the bottom.
Two other boats later anchored out with me, a Catalina 25 and a
Nonsuch. Both of them blew on shore. The Catalina was retrieved
before the waters dropped and was re-anchored. No such luck for the
Nonsuch (see pic).
I put out a delta 35lb on 200 ft or rode with new chafe guard. I put
out a 35lb CQR with 200ft of chain and snubber. When I found her, she
had drug .42 miles. Good thing I didn't have the spot tracker running
or I would have gone crazy. The delta was not holding and was wrapped
up in a ghost crabpot. The CQR was holding and the snubber had come
unattached and the chain spun the release on the windlass so that all
the chain plus 150ft of rode ran out. Good thing the rode was well
attached to the bow. It took about 15 minutes to get the CQR up with
the windlass and assistance from a powerboat. Next time I will use my
45lb danforth as the secondary anchor. Lesson learned.
When I retrieved the boat the engine would just bump and not turn
over. I hand turned it back and it would stop at the same spot going
forward. Figured water may have entered it. I keep a head sail on
board, so we sailed her back in the slip. That was Monday 9/17. Still
blowing, but had help putting her in the slip. Motor is fine after
getting the water out and changing oil/filter. So, not a scratch on her!
Everyone that stayed at the Washington Country Club docks in Broad
Creek did fine. Figure that! I just can't leave a boat in the slip
during high water. Boats also came off their stands in the yards due
to high water. A lot of boats anchored in Broad Creek also went in
the trees. I'll take my chances out at anchor in the big water.
Here are a couple of pics:

Mark, that's an awesome story about Edge surviving Florence; do you
have any film footage of the boat before or after (possibly during)
the storm? what type of bottom did the anchor eventually catch on?
Were there other boats around? Thanks

1989 C&C 37/40+ 'The Edge' for 1 1/2 years and current boat
BTW, 'The Edge' survived Florence just fine. She drug about half a
mile in the Pamlico river, but never ventured into shallow water.
Water entered though the exhaust and into the M35 cylinders. Glad I
left a sail inside so I could sail back to the slip. Pulled the glow
plugs, got the water out and after a couple of oil/filter changes is
running fine.
