Listees, While we were securing Smelling Roses yesterday in Coquina Harbor, Little River, S.C., it was pointed out to me that the tall pillings holding the floating dock facing the sea wall are largely eye wash. The bracket that slides up the piling will be stopped many feet short of the top by the overhanging boardwalk. At morning high tide yesterday I estimated we had about 2.5 feet float left. I left the lines longer than I would have otherwise. Coquina is about 4 1/2 miles up the river from Little River Inlet and the surge was being predicted at 2 to 4 feet. Having done our best, we drove back to the mountains of western North Carolina. Does anyone on the list have any numbers on the surge last night? Mike Smelling Roses '79 Albin 43
