Hurricane Irene

No pictures but just wanted to let you know that we were in Ohio when Hurricane Irene came through New Bern, NC where Silhouette was in a slip. We got to the boat late Monday (8/29). She was in the middle of two slips and we would have to grow wings to get to her. Mark was able to move her & I jumped aboard. All systems are working and we sustained little damage (that we can see) to the port (left) side of the boat. I will TRY to do a real Blog update once we are in Texas – first we have to move the boat to a new marina as our dock has been condemned. Only with the help of other sailor did the boat stay tied to the dock as our original lines all chafed through. What GREAT folks sailor are!



The new marina does not have Wifi so call if you would like to: Me (Chris) 214-502-1894 - Mark 817-269-5517
