Hello Irene

So our stop over in Boston / Madison CT was uneventful except for the fact that Hurricane Irene hit my Grandma's house on Sunday morning. Never seen anything like it as the water reached the 2nd stoop of her front door (about 6 inches from coming into the house.) I took a few pictures early on but then had to get inside before I went out to sea. My cousin Chris has a great picture of a fridge floating down the road behind our house. We were without power until we left so it was a bit stressful but Logan was open and our Aer Lingus flight took off without a hitch.

By the afternoon these homes had no front lawn
