Last night there was a major storm front that moved through NJ and my Mother in Law's house took some damage. She went to check on the cat this AM and said that several were knocked over and one was in pieces in the street. She didn't stop but said from the street I looked ok. I'm the only one on a platform and the only one who ties down for and aft.

Anyone else out there? Anyone who knows cats that can take a look? baby blue prindle 16 - NJ-1935-XX

Murphys law - I spent 8 days there 3 hours after I leave...

Looks like I may be ok.. just got some pics. I was lifted off my platform and moved about 3 feet to the south. I've got family going to put me back on and check it later this AM. 2 P18's didn't fair too well. One turned turtle with the mast stepped and the other was lifted by the wind and hit a telephone pole :-O 🙁

a Friend has the turtled 18..anyone near NJ got an exra mast? I think thats all he broke.

Bob - I'm Rob - Yellow P-16

We need to exchange numbers - I called everybody that I knew on the bay front.

I was on the bay beach with my for the duration of the storm.
My boat is ok. I have pictures and video of some of the damage.
Todd's Hobie wave was thrown across bay boulevard in to a front yard. Several H-16s were busted up and one was thrown into the parking lot by my boat.

Are you talking about Luke's boat? It wasn't turtled it was toppled. (Turtle is upside down in the water mast pointing down)
