the tides ran 7.5 to 8ft above.

 

the street in front of my house, the water comes up the drains and floods the road.

 

2nd pic of neighbors doc accross lagoon the water is so high it has his ramp that you walk down to the floating dock shooting up in the air.

 

 

They're expecting high tide flooding through tomorrow's AM high tide.

 

For all of you shore guys, stay safe and if it looks bad, get the hell out of Dodge.

Nor'easter coming right? (remnants of Ida)

Best of luck.. Stay safe and dont hesitate to get the hell out of dodge if it gets bad.

Looks like it is time for the canoe or kayak tied to the front porch. if you need a safe place for your guns to go Tony, I am here for you.

HMM< wonder how my boat is going to hold up.

 

it is tied up at a different marina then it usually is right now, with a slightly different setup.

 

Guess I will find out eventually

Hope it does not end up like this one.

 

yup,lol.

seems the hull is in pretty good condition.

Yeah, and now you've got a boat that's got a good hull and everything else is wrecked garbage.

I am sure the transom is shot on that hull at the very least.

My big boat got hauled Monday for the season. I can drag the little ones up higher by hand if necessary. In the back bay, it's not the tide but a long east wind that piles up the water.

the last nor'easter we recieved hashed it rearing head on that one. I salvaged it and am currently reconditioning the boat for the customer, he had insurance coverage.

 

The batts had died and filled the boat with water, when the customer tried to board it it flipped over from the extra weight, he almost went with it..

Did they consider it a total loss?

 

I wouldn't be heart broken if it happened to mine,lol.

Btw, what happened to his scuppers?

the scuppers were fine, they sit below the water. it has a kicker motor which leans it to one side he has decided to leave it off.

 

no the boat was not totaled, repairs came under book value. plus he would have been heart broken..

I have friends in Island Heights, last exit before the bridge. I hope they are doing ok.

Scuppers couldn't be fine if they are below the waterline.

 

What brand boat and what engines on back?

for us non-nautical fellers:

Ever watch Deadliest catch? When a wave goes over the side, the water streams out the scuppers back into the ocean.

Which is why scuppers can't be fine if they are below the waterline.

If the transom wasn't overloaded with weight, the scuppers would be above the waterline and the rain water would drain out the scuppers (like they are supposed to) so the boat wouldn't have filled up with water and capsized

corretamundo, he had bottom plugs in his. his batts went dead so pump would not work, he had not been to the boat for a couple of weeks.

 

we have him all fixed up so it will not happen again..

 

OH, and he is a new customer.
