Hope she came through OK.

My 7.9 was safely on her trailer in the back yard when Irma came through -- and she was not nearly as bad for us on St. Croix as on the more northern Virgin Islands.

She made it through. She was above fully submerged pilings for three hours. That picture was 3 hrs before high tide. This boat's home is just across the cove from the Florida Yacht Club in Jacksonville FL. Irma blew a wall of water up the St John's which met an inbound tide in North Jacksonville and caused an 8ft surge for about 7 miles of river coast line. The picture I just attached is looking back at our house from our flats boat I used to get to house after the roads became impassable. It was a long three days, still no power as of today.
