Sandy update 11:30 a.m.

I just watched as my old, trusty stair case washed away out to sea. I was kind of glad I was there to say goodbye. It's been a good friend. The water is already higher than I have ever seen it. I am going back down there to move my double kayak to even higher ground. I am pretty sure that the water will crest higher than ever tonight at the next high tide. YIKES! I know this is small stuff compared to what my friends in Long Beach must be experiencing. I will update this blog throughout the day as long as I

have power.
