I have to hit you with phone pix again this week - at least for now...I have been told that I will be able to shoot an event this weekend and am hoping to do it, but I don't have lots of details yet so we shall see . If all goes well I will have some sailing shots to share...
Hopefully you saw my additional image of the sunset from last week. I pointed out the "kayak" dock was slightly under water because of winds blowing the water in the "wrong" direction...as Maria got closer and the winds picked up, the water level continued to rise as you can see below...
This was pretty close to the peak of water - about 2.5 feet above normal levels. We ended up with maximum wind gusts around 50mph or so and virtually no rain...we got lucky again!
Meanwhile back in beautiful downtown Oriental, North Carolina, our dock runneth over...
The water is still about 1-1.5 feet above normal levels and the northeast winds are predicted through next Tuesday. We can see the top of the kayak dock again (and its dry!) but we don't expect levels to drop too much until the winds drop or change direction!
I have always followed weather - for some reason it has always interested me - but it is amazing how much I have learned and how much more I have followed it now that we have a house on the water!
Well, I just did a preview and it seems my portrait images are lying on their sides! Not sure why as that has never happened to me before...
