We only lost one boat
In Response To: non event in Southwest Harbor ()

We only lost one boat in Falmouth, a go fast center console that sunk. Probably an inoperable bilge pump. Lots of anchor chafe and some chock chafe around but everyone seemed to fare well. When I left my own boat at 7:30 PM it was blowing steady 35 gusting over 40. It picked up about 10:30 and blew much harder. We lost power from 10:45 until about 5:30am and we rarely if ever lose power... Lucky for us the wind direction was a tad off NE so we had some protection. If that was direct NE we would have lost a bunch of boats...
