Checking Out How "No Keys" handled Hurricane Season 2011

Well it is official that Hurricane Season is over, but with the amount of high winds and waves you would wonder.  We went out to see our floating hotel. There were many boats already being worked on and splashed into the water.  All the mooring balls are full from Vero Beach south. They are all just waiting for that first weather window to head out across the Gulf Stream. Everyone has their preference as to the sea conditions.  There are lots of Catamarans, Cabin Cruisers and good old sailboats.




Besides a good wash and bottom paint, we will be ready to go!  The only damage we received this year was our poor tarp that covered the cockpit was ripped to shreds.  Apparently, about 3 weeks ago a high wind came ripping through.  The tarp is sacrificial, we heard that a few boats did take a bit of a tumble.  We all have hurricane straps to tie your boat to the ground.  The inside of No Keys was fresh and clean! No dead bugs, ants or cockroaches..........so I guess Chris and I did a great job to putting her away last spring.
