Storm Surge?? Moved the boat, glad I did.
In Response To: Storm Surge ()

I took Tropical Dance to Brunswick, Georgia from Ft Lauderdale 6 weeks ago. Glad I did.

Below are two photos. Left one is where the boat was in Ft Lauderdale. Notice the hight of the pilings. Then, look at the pilings at the new dock in Brunswick (TD on right). If there was a 1 foot surge in the old slip I'd be ripping off the cap rail. Like the new pilings much better. And, it seems that Brunswick is doing what it's known to do,,,, escape a direct hit due to it's western location along the coast.

It took some time and energy to get her north and secure her for a blow but I feel much better having her there.

Gook luck to all at this time.
