We arrived back about 5 PM Tuesday and we were delighted to find Tide Hiker in good shape - not a scratch and no water inside. The surrounding houses all looked in good shape, there was plenty of foliage scattered around but no apparent damage.
I spent the hour or so before dark removing the extra lines and hooking up power and water. Some of the knots in the lines were pretty tight, so there had been some wind (The only "official" wind number we heard was 70 mph in the area.) We heated up a frozen pizza, watched a bit of TV (reception was pretty good, considering that the TV aerial was mounted upside down and zip tied to the side of the boat!) and hit the sack.
Today we are quietly working around Tide Hiker "undoing" our hurricane preparations.

More of the same plus washed the windows. Popped in on Steve and Patti on Last Laugh in "our slip" at Shelter Cove.
Friday, September 15.
On the road to Charleston by 7 AM for Deidre's appointments at MUSC. Also took a couple of canvas pieces with minor zip damage to "our canvas man", Victor. Deidre's appointments all went well and Victor had the canvas ready by 4 PM - now that's a record. Popped in on friends at the IOP. Back on board by 8 PM - a bit pooped.
We understand that the survey is now scheduled for Thursday next week. I seem to be having trouble with my Cox email account because I seem to be missing messages.

Borrowed a ladder from the marina and assembled the canvas on the fly bridge. Its a bit of a pain in the rear job.
