Ernesto does a number on poor Irie

I've gotten all of the videos uploaded to YouTube, & all of the photos uploaded here.  Friday nite pretty much sucked.  There was no power, & Drew & I spent a good deal of the evening in waist-deep water trying to save Irie from bashing herself to bits against the boat lift motors. As you can see in the video, the water level was such that she'd slipped her starboard mooring lines, & was getting beaten in by the storm surge.  The video below is of one of the boats we saw float past us on its way upstream.  Keep in mind that the water you're seeing is usually a very calm, very small creek.  Both ours & the neighbors' docks are fully submerged.

You can see the rest of the videos here , & the photos here . Needless to say, I've got some fiberglass work to do.  I don't envy the cleanup job my dad's gonna have to deal with this weekend.
