Waiting for Sandy and Remembering Irene!

As Newport prepares for Hurricane Sandy, we are thankful that she is gracing us with her presences after our sailing season!  All of the preparations and worried sailors in Newport make us remember August 2011 when the Heritage Team prepared for Hurricane Irene.  Check out these before, during and after shots from Irene's visit to Newport.  

Before Irene...the calm before the storm.  Team Heritage prepped Heritage to ride out the storm in Newport Harbor.

 

During Irene...Heritage weathering the storm on her mooring off Goat Island.

After Irene...Heritage is bright, beautiful and ready for sailing!
