Isaac at the Gates
/
Today around lunch I found myself an hour to wonder the Eastern Shore with other gawkers, looking for interesting things related to the storm. As a sail enthusiat I tend to gravitate to marinas. I found marina life to be fascinating, especially with a storm on the way.
This shot is from the Fairhope Pier, City Marina. A couple things of note. Two boats are already sunk in the marina, before the storm even gets here. One boat owner, on the left, just off the frame from this shot, apparently thought it was clever to come, open the companionway of his boat and leave it, ostensibly to join the other two sunken boats and make his insurance claims.

Why is the City Marina, a nice little marina in a picturesque surrounding with decent facilities and super-nice management, the place for people to take their boats to die?
At any rate, Isaac is at the Gates, I hope for those in his path that he doesn't turn to a Hannibal..
