One friend, Ralph E. moored his boat back in the marina where he was hoping for more protection. He stayed the night on his boat. Another friend, George M., whose home is just to the left of the martina in this photo, left his boat on the boatlift. He watched it buck like a bronco and break free, only to end up beached onshore. George went out in the storm, jumped on to his boat with a line, and somehow managed to run it off the beach and maneuver it closer to where Ralph was moored. He too spent the night on his boat. Both boats and owners are safe and sound the next day, although a bit shaken up from the ordeal. What a story!
