Hi all , just a quick report; we usually don't have hurricanes this far north, they usually downgrade to a tropical storm when they hit the colder northern waters. This year the water is staying much warmer than usual and Juan took advantage of this to hit us with a category 1 hurricane. We still had 50 boats in at the Charlottetown Yacht Club as September has been our best month of summer. The forecast was for east winds shifting to southwest after the eye passed, in which case we would have probably been O.K. The wind came SE and shifted to SSW which is of course our exposed side. The winds were clocked at 80 kn at the peak of the storm. Three fishing boats were totally destroyed, 2 sailboats are still on the bottom and another 25 extensively damaged, the rest suffered various degrees of damage. Our floating dock system was totally destroyed and extensive damage was sustained by the wharf itself. After this experience I can only imagine what it must be like to be in a cat 3 or 4 storm. The power of the wind and the water is an awesome force to behold. Any that's all for now ..been up for the last 36 hrs salvaging boats so stay safe and fair winds to all. Craig S/V Wind Toy 1977 H25
