HURRICANE ISABEL

SYC sustained extensive damage from Hurricane Isabel on September 18 and 19, 2003. As usual, and with great pride from within, we pulled together to repair and clean up our club. All club facilities are back in service and the docks are repaired. Although we had a few bee stings, cuts, and bruises, no one was hurt during the hurricane or during the cleanup.

Here is a summary of the damage we sustained:

• Drysail – Only the finger dock and double steel dock were available for use. The boat hoists were working.
• Riverside – Only the ramp dock and three standard docks were usable.  The rest of the docks were removed from the water and repaired.
• Harbor - Almost all the moorings moved.
• Club Barge - Both pontoons had holes and the barge itself sustained heavy damage and had to be replaced.
• Pavilion - A tree landed on the southeast corner of the pavilion.
• Clubhouse - Power was off for two days.
• Clubhouse grounds - Two trees fell and were removed.
