| 312 Washington Street, trees still there, lots of debris in
the yard... |
Looking north-ish towards Spa Creek |
Washington Street, looking south-ish... OK life looks pretty
normal.... so far... |
| On the way through Eastport |
 |
 |
 |
| Our first clue that something is amiss...
that's Davis' Pub at the end of the street, about 4 feet under... |
This is friend Jim Caprons house, with water
lapping the sides...(and yes that tree in the front yard has a severe
verticality problem) |
Yep, that's water lapping the side of Jim
garage... but but but he's almost a block from the normal water's edge... |
 |
 |
 |
| Wow, Jim... that's really good planning on
the height of your garage (house is another 2' up, not even close) |
But, I hope the neighbors aren't upset at
your new pool... |
Enough of Jim's place, we scoop up crew
Charlotte and off we go to see if Road Trip made it. First
problem on First Street, its UNDER WATER! |
| Eastport Yacht Club |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
| We turn the corner into EYC, and yep, everything is under
water! We are very very worried about Road Trip |
But initially our view of her is blocked, we wander around
the edge of the property, and there she's is! Resting happily on her
lines! WHAT A RELIEF |
But, wow, there is water everywhere else... |
 |
 |
 |
| And notice, there are no docks in sight, nor even the tops
of the pilings! |
Did I mention that the water was lapping the club house
steps... this picture is taken from said clubhouse steps |
Mondial and Road Trip are proud of the work
their owners put into their dock lines yesterday |
|
Severn Sailing Association |
 |
 |
 |
| But let's check out next door (we're members there
too)...her burgee made it through the night ... |
woaaa ... there's water EVERY WHERE there... |
No land at SSA anywhere in sight... |
 |
 |
|
| hmmm, that Catalina needs to ease her bow line some |
Its a different world out there.. |
|
|
Back through Eastport up to AYC |
 |
 |
 |
| Time to check on S&M up at AYC's Sailing Center.... but its
hard to get there... Fourth and Severn is under water |
So is Fifth and Severn (the North edge of AYC's
Sailing Center)... this is not good "Dead End" should really say "Wet End" |
Sure enough, most of the Sailing Center is deep under. |
| Annapolis YC |
 |
 |
 |
| That building on the right is the "Butler Building",
memories of floods past had her at times 1-2' under... she's 4' under this
morning |
This is S&M's normal row, while the boats that stayed near
the water are not literally floating off their trailers, they are in about
4' of water, and trailers are positively bouyant (I now know)... so they are
moving around a bit |
The big success story, AYC's brand new re-configured
floating piers! Came through with flying colors (and all the boats tied to
them). Look carefully at the tops of the pilings, they are within 2'
of the top... normally they are 6-8' above the docks. Good planning,
huh? |
 |
 |
 |
| And S&M is happy and "feet dry" (only about 15' from the
water's edge) |
Up to the bridge. That's AYC RC Chair Chip Thayer in
the cockpit of Quick Step. They came through unscathed as well,
but he does look like he's missing his morning coffee |
And looking over at the main clubhouse... all wet over there
too. The lower "deck", aka the Skipjack, was 3' under at high water. |
 |
|
|
| But we couldnt get there, as Compromise Street was a wee bit
flooded too. |
|
|
|
Comparing AYC's docks with
Eastport's, we decide that Road Trip needs a new temporary home. With
permission to move her to AYC, we start our next venture of the day. |
