Hurricane Irma - September 10-11, 2017

We found ourselves back with the boat with the approach of Hurricane Irma.  We had intentions to take the boat out to a safe place but upon arrival we determined that it would not be that bad of an occurance and chose to tough it out on the dock.

The next day the winds pick up considerably and the water rose.

It turned out to be a wild bucking, bronco ride and we are happy to report no damage to the Archimedes nor any other boat on the dock.  We lost a couple of our best fenders due to severe abuse against the dock, as well as the rub rail but not much more than that.
