It appeared that most all of the damage was to the docks: missing planks, separated finger piers, and one large bow - in docked boat had knocked its electrical service stand off. The only boat damage that I saw was a tattered bimini top.

I just went and checked on our boat. It weathered the storm well. Our bridge enclosure was no worse for the wear, and the windshield cover is still there too. We have it on a fixed dock, and get this, our neighbors in the boat behind us spent the night last night on their boat. They said the...

I would recommend these either of these two marinas if you are to live in VB. First is Marina Shores which has both in-water and dry storage. Its an upscale full service marina, it has a pool that is (used to be anyway) included. It is on a tidal creek though and you have to back your boat in a...

Good information to know. Thanks for the explanation. I have a question though: When I look at the second picture, the one of the Racor, the fluid in the bowl looks almost clear to me. Is that diesel fuel, or is it water? The reason that I ask is that my Racor bowls are all filled w/a pink...

Tides Inn in Irvington, VA

If you make it as far as Tidewater, one place you can enjoy is the Norfolk & Portsmouth waterfronts. There is a marina in Portsmouth that is adjacent to the nTelos amphitheater. You can enjoy the sounds of the concerts from your boat, or you can walk there and see it too. If you are as old as...

http://www.wvec.com/news/norfolk/stories/wvec_local_021009_eagle_lays_egg.2c566e2.html this link shows a Eagle Cam video of an eagle's nest here, (Norfolk, Va) it's next to the airport at the Botanical Gardens. They had an egg laid there just last week.

Here's a summary, there is lots of good advice here, as expected. Thanks for that guys. I think that Jason's recommendation about the generator makes sense. To run it with no load, then loaded, then no load. Especially since Frank says that it is better not to run the mains, unless I run them...

My boat stays in the water year round. In the cold months, we sometimes don't use it for weeks at a time. It is not winterized though. In this situation, how often do you guys think that I should start the engines, if at all? I also was wondering, when I run the generator, is it harmful to run...

My last boat was 410. It had Cat 3126 T engines and I had the Cat guys put heaters on them. IIRC, the heaters that they installed warmed the antifreeze, which then circulated through the engines. Seemed like a good idea! I plugged them in when it got cold here. They made the engines so warm...

A friend of mine here in Va Beach owns a 68 footer. I am not sure if it the most luxurious, but I think it is the biggest one made.

They picked it up on the morning radio show here yesterday, and had people call in with names for flavors. Some were funny...but I can only remember a couple Baby Gravy Groovy Booby

I just want to see if my picture got added

Thanks to all of you guys for the kind words. Gary, Janet, the kids and I all walked out the docks to your boat before we left Annapolis that morning, but you guys were not there. We were on our way to Harrington Harbor that day, so we wanted to get going. I was sorry to have missed you...

I want to introduce myself to the CSR community. I have been a member for awhile but have never posted anything. I already have learned a lot about my boat from what I have read here, and want to thank all the contributors for taking the time to spread around their knowledge.
