Tropical Storm Isaias

codeman671 · 08-03-2020, 10:15 PM

We headed up to the island tonight to turn our boats bow out and add more lines. If it does come out of the east or north east we could get clobbered, so we weren’t taking chances.

Hate it when the picture looks great except when it gets posted here. Happens more times than I care to remember and admit.

On a positive note, looks like no matter how much rain we get, it will run right out of your boat. (Nice boat, btw.)

Wait, did the storm already go by?

It looks like it flipped those boats!

Webmaster, bad choice of words on my part. This is the only forum I post on, and when posting from a mobile device, sometimes the pictures stand on its side or on its head, but not all the time. Didn't mean to imply it was this site's problem. Sorry.

Interesting link, even if it is over my head.

When I saw that this morning I thought "Don will fix that picture" but I didn't want to assume anything. What a great Webmaster!!

If these boats were docked at a South Pole lakehouse, I could understand this perspective .

It’s an iPhone thing.... couldn’t fix it on a mobile device.
I was fully expecting the commentary though!

Supposed to be bow towards the waves not keel towards the sky

Looking at my radar app, it appears the majority of the storm is heading west of of us. Looks like we will barely get hit...

I've been watching the radar all day and there's been barely a blip at Arcadia. In fact, the first rain just started a few minutes ago.

Same here on Welch. Wind out of the southeast, I’m on leeward side so all calm here. Just started to rain...

We got crushed on East Bear. The dock pic from yesterday looks a lot different now. I checked my cameras at 5:30pm and saw it crumbling with our boats on it. Mad rush up to Gilford and a nasty ride out to Bear. I was expecting both boats to be a total loss by the time we got there.
The Yamaha seemed to be fine and the dock crumbled right behind me as I pulled out. Went back for the Eastern and barely got that off. Some gel oat damage but it could have been worse.
Dock is a total loss.

Here are some probably upside down pics:

Sorry to hear that Codeman....hopefully your boat damage is minimal.

My Eastern got swamped at my dock also at around 11:00 PM. The storm was well Northwest of us by that time but the wind picked up and we ended up with some massive waves. Took one over the stern and she got swamped. Luckily I was there and with the help of some wonderful island neighbors we saved the main brand new motor from going under...the 9.9 kicker wasn’t so lucky! Just finished pumping her out. Will pull her out in a few hours to inspect hull for damage...

Wow! Sorry to hear Dan! From a “seemingly” uneventful storm there sure is a lot of damage and outages out there! Glad you saved the new motor! Good luck the rest of the way!

Lucky you were there! We put our Eastern on the trailer last night around 9pm to get it out of harms way.

There's a tree on the lines behind 315 Bear, according to our neighbor at 321 Bear. Called the outage line for Nh electric, and Sharon said she's made a note of it for the crew. The downed tree caused power outages at camps from 315 Bear north along the shore.

Man oh man...glad you were able to save the boats! Best of luck with the dock...that was brutal, no doubt!

It was nuts. It was all Kathy, Sherry and I could do to even secure the Yamaha to the mail dock. Mike was circling in his boat. Lake Life is going to look at the dock today to see what is left and will try to rebuild it.
