[Rhodes22-list] Good news Re: Isabel

[Mary Lou Troy]

Gil,
We were down in Rock Hall today and checked on Closing Time while we were 
there. She's just fine. Do you know if the marina personnel adjusted 
docklines during the storm?

Fretless is also fine. Water in the boatyard came about midway up the 
trailer tires. She did get a small nick through the gelcoat below the 
waterline on the port forward quarter - probably from some flying or 
floating debris. It's small enough that we'll have them relaunch her this 
week and we'll take care of it over the winter.

The Rock Hall waterfront took quite a beating. Waterman's Crab House is 
destroyed. There is a big hole where the back part of the dining room was. 
Evidently the deck is damaged and the kitchen equipment is gone. A man who 
I assume was the owner was there getting pictures and talking to 
bystanders. Sounds like he will rebuild if he can. P.E Pruitt's also 
sustained damage but I don't know how much. Many of the low lying houses in 
Ferry Park (behind the beach) had about 3 feet of water on the first floor. 
Most of the marinas appear in good shape although Gratitude lost some of 
their docks. Spring Cove's look perfect although we did not walk out much 
beyond your slip. Swan Creek's are fine except for some lifting where B 
dock meets the shore.

Sorry to hear you are still without power. Hope the PECO estimate was 
conservative.

Mary Lou
