Good Morning Everyone,
I hope all of you have a very nice labor day weekend and we realize that many of you will not have use of your vessels due to Irene and the Katia forecast.
Katia is at 70mph sustained winds as of 5am this morning. It is progressing at 15mph. I will continue monitoring the track of this storm through the weekend and I expect that the 5 day NOAA projection to impact our area sometime early in the week. We will make the call to commence hurricane haul outs as soon as possible for those vessels that have departed to date. There is no definitive indications that Katia will make landfall in the continental US at this time, but it could move far enough west to preclude us from not being attentive and having to haul vessels to be sure we provide a safe harbor for your vessels.

Tropical Storm Katia Update #2
Tropical Storm Katia Update #1
Tropical storm Katia is projected to be NNE of Puerto Rico Sunday. We will track this storm over the weekend and will give you all updates as possible. This storm has sustained winds of 60 mph and is moving at 20 mph NNW. It is too early to tell where it will go, but hopefully out to sea away from the U.S.
There was no significant damage to vessels in our yard during Irene. Just some covers torn, covers blowing around, enclosures torn etc. All vessels stayed on their stands and upright as they should. We have a tremendous amount of work to do on a lot of vessels. Many people are taking advantage of this necessary haul out to do some maintenance. We really appreciate the work.
Hurricane Earl Update 8/29
8:22pm August 29, 2010 – Beaufort, NC:
The latest NOAA projection is predicting the west side of the possible track to skirt Cape Lookout. This is still a Cat 1 hurricane. There is a 5-10% probability of us receiving Hurricane Force winds. It does appear to have sped up. It is now to arrive somewhere off our coast Thursday afternoon.
This storm is still very unpredictable so we will advise caution. Better safe than sorry. We will be able to haul vessels Monday afternoon if any of you want to get a jump on hauling. Please contact Kendra at 252-728-2690 x232. Kendra will begin receiving calls for appointments at 9am Monday 30 August. 50 and 75 ton lifts will start at 1pm and be scheduled for every 30 minutes. The 200 ton lift is already busy Monday, but call anyway and we will do our best to start some 200 ton lifts if possible. If not, we will start the 200 ton lift at 0730 am Tuesday morning.
