Waiting for Hurricane Harvey

Rockport Harbor
We drove back to Texas Wednesday night and Thursday so we could check on our house and the Texas Pearl, and be close for any clean up we might need to do. Our son prepared our properties better than we could have ourselves and we're blessed he was here to help. We drove straight to our boat in Rockport to do a few last minute things and take a few personal treasures off the boat, then an hour back to our home...43 hours without sleep. I think running a marathon might have been easier. 

These pictures were taken on Tuesday as Eric was putting on more lines. What a beautiful evening and boat...our neighborhood will not be the same soon.
Our last look at Texas Pearl
We've been tracking the storm for days...the hurricane watch is now in the waiting mode. Everything is ready and there's nothing more we can do except wait and see...and hope and pray for the best. We'll let you know. 

The projected paths have changed some but our boat has been in the center the whole time...not looking good
More tracking maps from early this morning...should come ashore early tonight.

  2. Best wishes, Susie. Just one of those random things. You prepare as best as you reasonably can, and then let chips fall where they may.

  3. Best Wishes It look like a good job securing her, I hope you find Texas Pearl in good shape, as you left her, when you are able to get back to her. Stay safe
    Good luck!
