One way or another (Lady Luck included!) she has survived every hurricane that

count over 22 years--knock on wood!

Cool ! We need a  to set up an Oriental /Washington. C  Rendezvous! I Had 
dinner with a C 41 owner last night also from Pecan grove ! And Mark is/was 
at Deatons  with his new windows :) think there are 10+ of us locally?
 They do a great job there at Pecan grove, I tried to get in there but was told 
no even though they had room.?  Oh well woorked out fine.  I would not have 
wanted to be any of those boats at the entrance there, they were all beat up 
pretty  bad! Had another  friend with a C who was damaged  bouncing off the 
pier and piling . hauled today and damaged :( probably  out for the season.
See ya out there season is just starting !

Richard,

I anchored her out on Tuesday, 9/11. I was the only boat there at the time. 
I've anchored my 35mk2 in that location many times. I like it because no one 
else anchors there and there is enough deep water that if it blows out I don't 
pound the bottom.

Two other boats later anchored out with me, a Catalina 25 and a Nonsuch. Both 
of them blew on shore. The Catalina was retrieved before the waters dropped and 
was re-anchored. No such luck for the Nonsuch (see pic).

I put out a delta 35lb on 200 ft or rode with new chafe guard. I put out a 35lb 
CQR with 200ft of chain and snubber. When I found her, she had drug .42 miles. 
Good thing I didn't have the spot tracker running or I would have gone crazy. 
The delta was not holding and was wrapped up in a ghost crabpot. The CQR was 
holding and the snubber had come unattached and the chain spun the release on 
the windlass so that all the chain plus 150ft of rode ran out. Good thing the 
rode was well attached to the bow. It took about 15 minutes to get the CQR up 
with the windlass and assistance from a powerboat. Next time I will use my 45lb 
danforth as the secondary anchor. Lesson learned.

When I retrieved the boat the engine would just bump and not turn over. I hand 
turned it back and it would stop at the same spot going forward. Figured water 
may have entered it. I keep a head sail on board, so we sailed her back in the 
slip. That was Monday 9/17. Still blowing, but had help putting her in the 
slip. Motor is fine after getting the water out and changing oil/filter. So, 
not a scratch on her!

Everyone that stayed at the Washington Country Club docks in Broad Creek did 
fine. Figure that! I just can't leave a boat in the slip during high water. 
Boats also came off their stands in the yards due to high water. A lot of boats 
anchored in Broad Creek also went in the trees. I'll take my chances out at 
anchor in the big water.
