After Alfrida - havoc in the boatyard
Hurricane Alfrida went over us this night and most part of the day. It started yesterday evening, when I was working in the boatyard. After second time when lights went down I decided to head for home - otherwise I could be cut off by falling trees.
Today we went to check the place after the windy night. Turned out I made good decision to head home early: the road to Rosättravarv was totally blocked by trees.
What a disaster!
Without waiting for fire fighters, locals went out with chain saws and tractors and started cleaning out the mess. The road was still blocked so we’ve left the car a mile away and walked between fallen trees.
Still there was no electricity in the area.
Quite a few folks from my boat club were already in the area so we could chat while approaching winter storage field. My hart was pounding - seeing all these massive trees on ground I did not see that my boathouse-workshop could survive that.
To my relief - and surprise - it made it! Just one tarp got lose but I could fix it in 3 minutes.
What a luck!
Some boats had not been so lucky.
After texting Joel and Leif that their boats are OK we went to check on Meritaten, in the hangar. She was OK, just my anti-rain cover (leaking roof!) got loose but I will fix it later.
Keel bolt, of course, did not change the position.
On the way back we bought some hardware to build simple linear actuator - I have yet another idea how to help this bolt to move from it’s hole.
I will try that tomorrow.
