Hurrican Irene left us in good shape...We, the royal we, got Freedom put to bed in a wonderful creek close to the Marina where it was empty of other boats, wide enough for lots of swing room and deep enough for our draft...then I stayed at a friends' house about 2 seconds away as the crow flies...John experienced 20-30 knots of wind and some gusts to 55... We are really glad this was all a non-event... I have to say that the day that preceeded Irene's arrival were quite stressful..I also have to report that our wonderful friend David more than survived his first experience of a hurricane right in Oriental, North Carolina..We have one picture of a motoryacht that anchored quite a ditance away from us but left the boat unattended...see pic. The other Heavy Seas I am discussing here is the Heavy Seas Brewery in Baltimore, Md....It actually started out as Clipper City Brewery a few years back back due to some great marketing it is now known as Heavy Seas...names like Loose Cannon, Peg Leg and Small Craft warning are some of the different brews. It is a small facility that is growing by 67% just this year...Awesome beer that even I,a rabid wine drinker deemed pretty damn good...

Good to see thay you survived intact and with good beer. Will you head south soon?
A well deserved celebration that you guys made it through the storm. Whew, what a relief. What is it with people who don't tend to their boats during storms? Crazy.
