It was amazing how fast the river was dropping at Sunset Marina. Saturday it was just below a mark on one of the orange barrels used to block traffic on Sunset Driver; Monday it was a foot below the hole. The water also had pulled back from half of the small parking lot across from the entrance to the marina to just a fourth of it.
Even though it was sprinkling Monday afternoon, several people were ready for a shuttle ride to their boats and Chuck said they were no longer running the pumps to keep the water out of the buildings. In fact, he said, you could walk completely around the main building without getting your feet wet.
It's still possible for a severe storm with a lot of wind or rain to damage the marina, but barring that, it has weathered the Flood of 2011.
