What a storm! We have been on The Broads side of Rattlesnake Island for 15 seasons now. We have been through countless storms, even hurricanes and had less damage and debris than this beast left behind!!! We lost a bunch of trees, thankfully they all missed the camp and walkways. We did, however, lose our two wooden seasonal docks. On a happy note, we recently submitted an application for slightly wider welded aluminum docks. With luck, the permit will go through with the new changes we wanted to make, so Mike Metcalfe, of Winnipesaukee Island Services, can install it first thing in the spring.
Our neighbor has a similar dock setup to ours that Mike put in a few years ago and they weathered the storm much easier than our old woodies did. Funny that we were hesitant to remove the docks before we had the permit. Mother Nature took away our choice. Lol.
Be careful out there! Our dock panels that were screwed down with 3' screws are all gone. Likey they are smashed on the shore somewhere. I am kinda sad about that because I had plans for them.
The docks are tethered and we will sure them up even more this Saturday. Mike and is crew will be dismanteling them as soon as he can get to it.
