October Storm 2006
 On
Saturday, October 28 a
sou'easter hit with
winds gusting up to
50 knots in
Narragansett Bay
(recorded on
Esmeralde's wind
instruments). Two
boats came ashore in Jamestown, four
in Mattapoisett,
six
in Padanaram.
 Jamestown,
RI?
Believe it or not, this photo
was taken off
Beavertail,
Jamestown, on Sunday,
October 29 towards the end
of the
storm. Many thanks
to photographer
Don Miller
for
providing this shot. Visit

And now...
Back
to the boat shots:
 How do Boats Break Loose?
It's not a big mystery... We inspected six or so
of the boats on the beach yesterday and today, and each
of them showed chafe at the chocks or where
the line rubbed against an anchor hanging off the bow.
Beware!!
The following images in the photo gallery were taken
Sunday the 29th, after the wind had shifted into the
southwest and was still blowing 25 - 35 knots, gusting
to 40. I'm updating, so come back for captions and
more photos... Click on the thumbnails for full-res
photos. Hover on thumbnails for caption info.

And one
more good one: Who can figure out what has
happened to the building? I didn't see this when I
took the photo, which was a general one of the boats in
the harbor.
