Sandy's Devastation Part 3 - Three (nearly) Lucky Escapes
So what happened to Cadence? I got very lucky. As you can see below, Cadence is still upright on stands. I am not exactly sure what happened but I think, the boat to port washed up from the dock as the storm came in and jammed in against her side. The boat to starboard fell off her stands as the...

Sandy's Devastation Part 1
These two shots were taken by fellow RYC clubmember, Alan Uminski this morning. You can see the full extent of what happened here. Watch in Slideshow mode. It may me weep. Yesterday, there 30-40 boats standing there. Great boats like Sinn Fein, multiple winner of Newport-Bermuda; great boats I ...

Raritan Yacht Club and Sandy
This photo was taken from the yard at 1600, four hours before high tide, when the wind will be at its highest. Seriously concerned about RYC.

Worrying. Sandy Has Us In Her Crosshairs
Maybe I am being paranoid but in the last 36 hours the sharp end of Sandy's estimated landfall has shifted North from Delaware to the Northern Jersey Shore. According to this Storm Surge projection, Raritan Bay (clumsily-circled in dark blue by me) will see 9-12' storm surges. Thankfully my boat...
