August 2008 - Hurricane IKE

Hurricane IKE left its mark in our marina. Fortunately, we fared much better than most marinas in the area as we did not lose a single boat! We had two sailboats that experienced rigging failure and lost their sticks, and a number of boats had "dock rash" from not being tied up properly or having dock lines break. The marina is almost back after a 2.5 million dollar rebuild.

This car (a Lexus 430) was left in the marina and was later pulled out of the fairway just behind out boat. Last trade did not have a scratch!

We removed all of our canvas for the storm, and as luck would have it, the bimini tore when we were re-installing it after the storm passed! Realizing that our canvas was 9 years old, we decided to do a complete canvas replacement. After the monetary $hock passed, we're enjoying our new enclosures.
