Ike did some Damage on Lake Ontario this weekend. Sadly La Catarina (hull # unknown) broke free from her dock during a 6plus foot storm surge, she slammed into a the stern pulpit of a C&C 33 doing some minor damage, and then she slammed in to floating dock behind her. The pressure on the dock broke it free, along with a pearson 33. The J and the Pearson rode the surge to the beach where they both came to rest on the beach after the water level dropped. The poor J was pinned to the beach by the pearson the dock and the dinghy that was still attached to the pearson. We were able to free the J-30 from the beach as a second surge of water partially floated her. The hull was holed in three spots, all above the waterline. She should be very fixable but is on the hard now. I have pics but I am unsure of how to post them here. I tried a copy and paste but it did not work.
Velocity Girl made it through the storm unhurt. I had her tied to a floating dock with a much higher piling. She road the surge and settled back in as the water dropped. I am currently trying to get info on the owner of La Catarina so we can keep updated on repairs.
