08/31/2011 - Irene

On Sunday, I was scheduled as a tour guide. I cancelled because of Hurricane Irene which dropped record rainfalls on the region.  The photos were taken the day following.  What is impressive is the new dolphins (vertical piles that keep the Slater in place) that were installed in the prior year.  Bravo Zulu (well done) to the engineers and contractors involved with this project.  It's my guess that the SLATER would have sustained substantial damage with the old camels that were used to keep the ship in place.
