Irene Update- Brunswick, Ga




Friday August 26, 2011
Hurricane Irene D-Day for Brunswick Landing Marina 
10:00 am – All boat preparation is complete and we are monitoring the conditions. Forecast is for winds in the 20-25 mph with gust to 40 mph. We should be spared from major wind and seas from Irene. We are very concerned for our friends in NC, Virginia, Delaware and points north and are praying for their safety.

Current conditions at BLM – Partly Cloudy – Max. Wind Gust so far 36 kts.

1:30 pm - Not much to report. Top wind gust 41 kts, no rain, partly cloudy - getting hot 93 degrees F.  The center of the eye is almost due east and is approximately 215 nautical miles off shore. Post Hurricane Party is being planned.

8:40 Irene was kind to us and allowed the post Irene Dock Party to go off without a hitch. We hope she is kind to our friends up north. Highest wind gust 43 kts, no rain and a high tide about 2 feet above normal. Thank God.
