Sorry about the flooding and damage. We had bad storms in December and January. In our first January storm we lost our long ramp, 60 foot boathouse , dock and float. We watched as our property and that of most of our neighbors was totally destroyed. There was so much damage , both private and commercial all along the Maine coast it will take years to rebuild and millions of dollars. We can sympathize with your challenges and know that people who love the water will find a way. Pat for Twiglet

Oh wow that sounds awful 😞 some poor people did loose their boats to the floods but thankfully nothing as bad as that. We hope you have recovered from that, must have been terrible watching the storm destroy you and your neighbours property and the beautiful coast of Maine 🥲

I've been under 2 hurricanes and other windstorms. I never view them as disasters, horrors, scary, or any other similar terms. Tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides, etc. are natural occurrences that make up nature's beauty. And they will always happen.

They are definitely all part of natures beauty and amazing to see. What was worrying was the amount of floating homes left stranded or washed away and destroyed in weirs as well as many sinking 😳

My only worry when it floods is the boat floating over the decking and when the water levels go down that the boat then tips over, long scaffolding poles to ride up and down are one solution. Had my boat nearly tip over once and it was really worrying, I was moored up outside a friends house and the EA let loads of water out and I did not realise that there was an underwater shelf under my boat and when the water went down my boat was on the fulcrum point. I was in bed and about 2am in the morning I woke up as my head was hurting, got out of bed to have a wee it was then I realised as I staggered that the boat was tipping over, my head had been rammed against the headboard with the tilt hence the headache. Phoned my buddy at his house to help get me off, but even with a hole load of people and poles we could not shift a widebeam, in the end I managed to dig a hole with the prop to get some power in the engine and eventually reversed off the shelf and moved to another mooring, it was a very close thing, everything was falling of shelves and out of cupboards. So yes it can be a disaster, it was averted in this case and thank god I woke up when I did otherwise there would have been a very different story.

Wow thank goodness you woke up when you did, it must have been very stressful and scary 😟 We have seen so many boats tipping over, the weather has been crazy this year and unfortunately yet another storm tonight 😬😳
