We held our breath as we came around the corner of the Island last night and found the biggest damage to our place was defiantly the finger docks on the broads. All three took a heavy hit from the east. Two have panels that were lightly screwed down which are now pulled off and Lucky to be still present between the post. One of them has been pushed/twisted about 2-3 feet to the left.

Looks like everything is fixable and the big question now is if I will get away with waiting until closing day or not.

We kept telling ourselves it could have been a lot worse if one of the big Hemlock trees had fallen like some of the smaller trees did.

How did you find your boats, docks, trees and other stuff?

We are reviewing what we would do differently next time. We defiantly think the dock with the pwc lift on it faired better due to the extra weight holding it down. We regret that we did not set up the trash cans with water for extra weight.

What would you do differently next time?
