Whether it's a tropical storm or hurricane when it hits.

I just received a bunch of pics taken Sunday evening and Monday morning after TS Isaac hit Delray Beach, Florida between Ft. Lauderdale and Plam Beach.

I guess they didn't think Isaac was a threat, otherwise why all the boats still on the beach?

There is a lesson there.

I've created a "Damage by Isaac 2012" album in "Beachcats Situations", hope it doesn't get much use.

Say it ain't so......
IMG_1405 in the photo album. It's the General Lee, multi-time Tybee winner and a long list of other wins.
Just a plain 'ole bad ass boat.

Hey, good eye, didn't notice the orange peaking out under the covers. Hopefully most of those boats will be ok with minor damage once they are dug up!

The General Lee is fine, owners dropped mast prior to storm, has a full cover on it and 2, 100 pound concrete weights buried a few feet in the sand securing boat.

Seems some owners get lazy with those light weight CATS! I would have pulled mine out of there!

Its funny that the state farm sticker is right on the cover...

I was worried about our fishing boat down in PCB, couldn't take the time to go down there but we normally leave it ready for a hurricane this time of year. It seems PCB did not get hit too hard. I am glad I did not leave my Nacra down there though.
