Yermo,

My uncle took a ride down to the marina yesterday and said the parking lot was impassable but looked at it from the bridge and from where he could get in the lot. He said the shrink wrap was intact and the snow had blown off, so everything appears to be OK. I hope it is! I plan to be at my mom's house on Monday so I'll stop by then as well.

@Sonia Thanks! That's good to know. It's going to be interesting to see how well the boat fared this winter.

I did :). Was at mom's today and drove down to take a look. There is no boat in AA2 so I got a good look at the port side, there is a tear in the seam of the shrink wrap towards the stern, but it is in the hull area and not to the point where rain / snow would be in the boat.

I did not walk out to get a look at the stbd side since the pier was icy and I was alone; however, everything appears to be OK.

@Sonia Excellent. Thank you so much for checking on that for me. I expected there to be some rips and I'm very surprised that it's held up as well as it has.

Cool. Thanks!

I'm going to be starting the work on that beast here in a few weeks. I'm hoping this year I won't be defeated the same way I was last year.

John Willis tells me that at his marina two boats sank from the snow, one burned due to an overturned heater, and they measured winds up to 61 knots. Yikes! And he's a live-aboard!

Yow, sounds pretty scary. Glad to hear he came through it OK.
