Title: Hurricanes Helene and Milton
Post by: Gulfsailor on October 16, 2024, 01:48:23 PM
Boy were we lucky!

Helene delivered an 8' storm surge to our slip in New Port Richey and Breathing Room survived thanks to heavy prep two days prior (fender boards, loose lines, tide minders, doubled lines).

The yacht club did not fair as well with four feet of water ruining everything as did the surrounding neighborhood. Sad.

Milton hit at low tide 50 miles south and sucked the water down at low tide. High winds and lots of rain.

45 days till this hurricane season ends.
