| the first of many little lighthouses along the way |
We arrived in the Catskills to get our mast back on later in the day. We had heard that they had suffered a lot of damage during Hurricane Irene. It became apparent as we pulled off the Hudson and headed up the river towards the marina. There were several marinas along this strip. All marinas looked as is they sustained a lot of damage during the flooding. Here is a quick youtube video of the boats 'leaving ' the entrance way to the river http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmXIT_3m8Ag. When we arrived at Hop-O-Nose marina it was apparent that they had been busy during the last few weeks repairing docks, etc. They told us the whole story. They had removed most of the boats in the marina and placed they up on their stands well away from the waters edge. When they came back all of the boats were off of their stands and tossed around the yard. Apparently the water had come up so high that the boats lifted off of their stands and were floating around. Some were recovered, but some were not even found. I just cannot imagine so much water and what that must have been like for the people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9qxybMAca8&feature=related
