Update from Narragansett Bay Tuesday morning. Confirmed that Rhapsody, Nemesis, Falcon and Wicked are all fine. The surge in the upper bay was not as bad as it could have been. When I went to Borden Light Marina in Fall River this morning, there was absolutely no sign of damage to anything floating or on land. Power is on there too.

Newport harbor seems to have weathered the storm well. The docks at Newport YC all stayed on the pilings so nothing broke free. At the Navy Marina in Newport, a friend down the dock from Rhapsody still had his boat in the water and weathered the storm just fine. The water level was 1 foot above the seawall at high tide last night. No problem as our pilings can take about a 12 foot surge.
