Sandy

[rb437]

Here in Annapolis we were lucky. Very minor damage to the house and relatively brief power outages. I texted Parrot6909, who is in Brick, NJ to see how he was doing. The picture below is the former Reelapeelin that I bought from Parrot last month. The V21 rode out the storm on the trailer in my driveway with no damage. This picture is at the slip where Parrot used to keep the boat at the island he refers to below, about 4 blocks from his house. You can see it would not take much of a surge to wreak havoc on this area. I asked him how he faired the storm. Here's his reply:

"It's pretty bad, the boats that were around the island are strewn about the neighborhood and in houses. No power since Monday, gas stations are dry... our house made it, trees didn't. Really can't complain. Lots of rebuilding to do. Every house from 3 houses away from me on toward the water is a total loss. Fires, floods. Its horrible. But again, alive, have food, water and the house.

Look for pictures from Parrot when he gets power back.
