Beemer survived the hurricane. With no damage other than covered with pine needles. Five boat were not removed from the marina. Three sailboats and two sport fishers. Two sailboat broke away from their slips. One ended up sunk against the sea wall, mast sticking straight up and headsail flailing in the wind. The other a 43' ketch also broke away from her slip and ended 3/4 miles away laying on her side on the beach. A 10' gash at the waterline. The remaining boat appear unaffected. All will receive immediate eviction notices. The marina is closed. A meeting will be held by the city tomorrow morning to assess damage and determine when the marina will reopen officially. The commercial fishing boats were returning this afternoon to the commercial harbor.. And I was told I could return to the marina tomorrow knowing there's no power and scattered debris everywhere. It helps when you know people.
