Hurricane Ike blew thru here on 9/13 and the marinas incurred much damage. One 1100 slip marina lost 300 boats. The surge was 11 feet. If it were 3 feet higher, all the marinas would have been destroyed. Thats 5000 slips with boats..All the channel markers in Galveston Bay are gone. Our 32-3 survived w/o a scratch. The rubble was so thick, we could barely see the boat from the entrance..I would like to attach some photos.. Don't know how..They tell us we can expect this every 20 years or so. We were here for Alicia in 83 as well. I wasn't a sailor till 1984.
