Hurricane Ike was a devastating storm for
Galveston, it wiped out many homes and businesses.
We couldn't even get on the island to check our boat for almost a week, couldn't find out what had
happened to it. I was able to find an aerial shot of the marina on the Internet.
I could tell from the picture
it was demolished, so the plight of my boat was not good.
When were finally able to get on the island, I found my boat on
Hwy. 45 with numerous others.
The damage was too extensive for me to
repair. I was able to salvage the Beta engine, sails, cushions and a few
other things, of which I sold to other Albin Vega owners.
At least I was
able to recoup some of my investment, as I had no Hull coverage.
