Show Us Your Best Storm Shots

Here in the Bay Area, the combination of powerful storm systems with abnormally high tides can have drastic results — and we’re not just talking about boats leaking in places where they’ve never leaked before.

During the past two weeks, storm surge accompanied by punishing winds into the 40-knot range have pummeled boats, marinas and anchorages, and threatened to flood many waterside facilities. 

Our readers and reporters have sent in a variety of storm-related photos, but we’d love to see more. So, we invite you to share your best storm shots, for possible inclusion in a February-issue article. 

In the meantime, it looks as if we’ll have a reprieve from deluging rain until sometime next week, so we’d encourage you to check all your docklines and fenders, and make sure your bilge pumps are functioning properly and your cockpit drains are unclogged. And while you’re at it, why not get out on the water for a bit of winter sailing? We can’t think of a better tonic to cure the rainy-day blues.
