So sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to everyone there. We were just there on our boat in May and are broken hearted to see all the damage. Take good care.

I’m watching the Weather Channel and they were showing Legacy Marina. In the picture was Hannah Jane. So sad to lose a beautiful boat like that. As a prior GB 46 owner I can truly feel the pain.

Such a beautiful boat, your Grand Banks. Perhaps the damage will be minimal enough that your big boat days don't have to be over.

But, I also understand that some events can make us see our boats from a completely different perspective (thinking of Dave - Wayfarer - here). I can only imagine your worry and concern as Hurricane Ian rolled into Fort Myers.

And downsizing isn't so bad. If you have room to store a trailerable boat, there are many options.

Warm Regards,
Mrs. Trombley

It's a very sad situation. Every hurricane, when I pull out for my hurricane hole, at the slightest hint of a hurricane, my harbor master always says the same thing, "You have insurance, what are you worried about?" And, I say, "You don't understand. I really like my boat."

They become part of us. Almost like a family member.

This is a very sad week for many people. I lived through Sandy. As bad as your situation is , you are safe and that’s what counts.

Just saw a photo of your beautiful Hannah Jane on the NPR website - painful. I am so sorry.

Sorry for the loss and everyone else's loss. I saw a before photo of the marina and the pilings didn’t look very tall.

NYT article includes a picture of Hannah Jane et al.

https://nyti.ms/3Rqel6G

As a guy who's house in Madeira Beach had an NHC 'M' over it Monday night, I feel for the OPs loss. Could have been me.

Best wishes for whatever the future holds.

Not good, but apparently better than Legacy Harbour. There are some pics around, and overhead photos in the current "imagery" thread.

If I am interpreting them correctly NOAA satellite photos show it and the boats in it to be largely intact.

Sorry to see and hear about the devastation in the marine world. The silver lining is, you’re able to tell about it.

Was it not possible to move the boat somewhere away from the storm? I know that’s a shoulda/coulda/woulda question, but just wondering what the thought process is. I suppose it depends on how much notice you have, and how confident you can be in the storm path predictions.

My thoughts and prayers are with you today. Hoping you and others recover from this terrible time and that we hear about you back out on the water again.

GB Loss

Truly a gut wrencher seeing this. We rode out hurricane Odile in La Paz in 2014 and it was the most frightening experience we have had in 49 yrs. of boating. We wish you the best and hope that some way, some day you can get back into this life we all have a passion for.

I hope this doesn't sound cold hearted, but we all are concerned of the loss of our boat through any number of ways, including hurricanes. Hopefully you were prepared for this day.

I had a hurricane roll right over my 46' Cheoy Lee in Stamford, CT. As it approached, I weighed my options, decided the marina was as good a place as anywhere, and threw every dock line I had on it. Then I got off it. Thankfully my boat survived. I truly am sorry yours did not.

So sorry to hear this. There are so many heartbreaking stories from this storm. Everyone's right, you are alive, but it doesn't make it hurt any less.
