Isaias Aftermath Report from Southport Marina, Southport, NC AICW Statute Mile 309.5
This excellent facility and CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, Southport Marina, was severely damaged by Isaias. See Hurricane Damage. Experienced cruiser and longtime Looper, Robert Creech, posted this first hand report from his Southport home on AGLCA’s Forum. Thank you Robert!
After a terrifying/anxious night (August 3-4, 2020) with a tornado, power outage, full moon high tide, storm surge, and Hurricane Isaias, upon being told the next morning of damage at The Southport Marina, we walked to the marina and could not find C-life and could barely see C-Breeze III! All of the boats and docks were scattered across the marshes and creeks or piled in the northwest corner of the marina. The only damage at our home was tree limbs and debris. We watched aerial video later that day and thought that we located C-Life, still in the marina. Our power was out for about 48 hours. We were able to retrieve C-Life on Friday, August 7, and C-Breeze III on Tuesday, August 11, and now have both of them back in boat slips in front of our home, with minimal damage, but fixable.
We are very thankful to have so many family members and friends that care about our well being. This has been a very stressful time and we thank all of you for your prayers, coming by to offer help, texts, calls, and emails. Although we may not have responded to all, we greatly appreciate your concern.
Thanks again,
Kay & Robert Creech

Bob your account of hurricane Isaias passage at Southport is most appreciated. While reading I could almost feel the power of such a storm. We were living in Jamaica when Gilbert ravaged the island, so we can appreciate what you and Kay as well as the wonderful town of Southport experienced. Glad all is going well with your recovery. We will keep everyone in our prayers.
