Not enough cover to hide a person, none the less a boat. Glad the winds were from the north and Miller Island wasn't damaged. Hope all the nesting birds were hatched out and made it to open water to escaped the flames.

Mike,
The wind was actually coming from the south-south west. The fire started on the south end of the club and took off. The fire crews lit a back fire on the north end. The only plus side for the rat club is that the honks may like the regrowth.
