Here's a detailed update on San Carlos, Sonora courtesty of Fred and Sue on Soujourn.

Here's our report on boats/marinas in San Carlos:

MARINA SECA

Blue Moon (Tucson), Sun Ray, Glen David, all partly tipped over some damage

Inclination, (Garth's boat) possible damage to toe rail from Poca Loco tipping into her.

Poca Loco, Pacific Passage, Breita & Tashi, all slightly tipped or loose on stands, no damage.

Wandrin' Star is fine; Fred is sending a detailed email to 6Mike.

MARINA SAN CARLOS

2 docks broke loose on the marina office side, but guys from Gary's dive shop and marina staff dealt with them quickly, no damage to boats

Bahia San Carlos

The marina towed as many boats as they could into the marina, so only 8-10 were still out in the bay. Of those, Viva, Canta Mar, Toad & El Dorado all went on the rocks or the beach on the side toward Marina Real. Canta Mar is pushing up against Viva and holding her against the shore.

3 boats weathered the storm while still on mooring balls; one, Toru, dragged the mooring and 2 anchors across the bay, but stopped short of going on the beach.

Peak to Peak is on A-dock and is fine. We reported on the radio that this boat might be the one up against Viva, but happily she is not.

MARINA REAL -- DRY STORAGE

Poppy (a downeaster)is fully tipped over against the next boat; looks like some damage to both.

Dream Catcher is tipped also, hard to assess damage, but seems light.

Sea Bourn has lost its furling jib.

Sasi Lee, power boat, lost part of its bridge.

MARINA REAL -- MARINA

Sections of dock in various locations in the marina pulled loose and some ended up against the shore open the side opposite the banos (where docks 7 & 8 are). If there was damage to any boats as a result, it seems to be all cleared up.

Paloma Blanca lost her jib.

Scrimshaw has a damaged dinghy.

Nada Mas is fine, but her dodger is shredded and some other canvas is damaged.

The Farthing has a shredded jib and torn main sail cover.

Celtic Moon has a loose furling jib, but not jet torn.

Lone Star has a shredded jib and biminy

Nefre lost her mast and it took out the furler for the jib

Kokomo has a shredded dodger & one other cover

Priority has minor damage to a 2-step ladder for climbing onto the boat; all else is fine.

Kuilima is fine, one tarp is shredded.

 

Also, HIJINX is sunk in Puerto Escondido and divers are checking it out today.
