Padanaram is no place to be in a TS/Hurricane, so I moved Persistence
behind the hurricane barrier at New Bedford to ride out Irene. More
than 40 boats in the harbor broke loose over the course of the day on
Sunday (there's some compelling/ugly footage on YouTube if you're
curious).
Persistence stayed on her mooring (barely), but was hit multiple times
by other wayward boats. Nothing major/structural, but stanchions,
lifelines, pulpit, and two shrouds were destroyed. Toe rail was
smashed in one place, and lots of scratches. She's fully insured, so
she'll be looking better than ever next spring, but I'm terribly sad
to miss the fall season (my favorite).
I'll be looking for a fix this fall, so if anyone needs crew... let me
know!
Thankfully, it sounds like the rest of the fleet is good shape.
Take care,
Rob (Persistence)
