Hurricane Irma Update on Cruz-In

An update on Cruz-In 37VT74
Moored in Key West during Hurricane Irma
From Marty Raymond

A marina neighbor was able to board our boat this morning.  Happy to report
she looks pretty good. Some damage to port side rub rail and starboard side
paint.   Lines are pretty frayed.  Bilge is dry.  Pilot house looked okay
even after doors being open at some point during the hurricane.  

Of the six boats in our row -- two sank, one broke out of her slip and
ended up in the transient slip behind us on top of another boat, another
had major damage including broken windows while our boat and one other had
minor damage.  The damage in the marina is significant.   Many boats sunk.
One boat from a mooring ball in Boca Chica was found just outside of FT
Lauderdale.  It may be three months before power is restored. 

Jay will be flying down next week with new lines to inspect the boat and
contact insurance company if need be.  He is hoping to stay on the boat.  
There is no water, power or sewers.   Not sure how he will manage but ...

I am sure Jay will take lots of pictures.
