Well, in spite of the media hype, Isabel certainly ended up being not much
of a storm. Compared to some of the previous hurricanes to hit this area,
the damage was very light. Since most boaters in the area have a healthy
respect for hurricanes, the Coast Guard didn't receive a single distress
call. Furthermore, based on what I saw driving up the coast yesterday
afternoon, it appears most boats in the area made it through the storm
without any major damage (and only a few homes or commercial buildings were
damaged).
