On Thursday I secured Briar Patch l. Removed main and Genoa and doubled dock lines. The new harbor is floating docks with perhaps 18 feet rise. It takes some of the anxiety out of hurricanes.
I left Friday for my son’s home in Greenville SC. I am old enough that I never liked Ida from the time it was a tropical wave in the Caribbean. I beat the rush driving out Friday. Have seen a picture of the harbor. Just a few blown out jibs. Couldn’t see Briar Patch but I am expecting to find her as I left her. Power outage is another question.
