WOW!

“The Great September Gust”
On this date September 3, 1821 the most destructive recorded hurricane struck the Eastern shore of Virginia. A description given in Scribner’s Monthly said island inhabitants saw the Atlantic Ocean recede southward showing miles of sandbars then a dull roar followed and suddenly a mass of wind and rain and salt spray leapt upon them. Half of Assateague was a waste of seething foam and tossing pine trunks, then the unbroken mass swept across the south end of Chincoteague carrying away men, women and some ponies. Five persons lost their lives in the title wave and one man named Andrews lost his wife and children, but was himself spared because the water levels left him hanging by his waistband in a tree 20 feet up in the air. Another man, Hickman was said to be swept away from Chincoteague and carried to Swan’s Gut Creek 6 miles away on the mainland. The hurricane continued up the Atlantic Coast wreaking havoc and was later to be named the 1821 Norfolk and Long Island Hurricane but around Chincoteague it was known as The Great September Gust!

This tremendous storm will be seen again in the Before the Lighthouse movie.

Always interesting…Slack Tide and it’s neighbor were Assateague homes that were barged over to Chincoteague

The circle of life.

Friends and Guests,
It’s time to let the cat out of the bag. During this offseason at Slack Tide, we’ve taken on a major renovation of the “original” Assateague Island side of the house. The Kitchen, Dining room, Queen bedroom and the Full bath are all included. A complete kitchen renovation with new cabinets, countertops, floors and appliances (including a dishwasher!!) is currently being completed.
New floors in the bedroom, bath and dining room and new paint throughout will mean that Slack Tide will be better that ever and ready for your 2022 vacation!
Here are some progress pictures to get you excited. Everything will be complete by 3/1.

Seven years ago today we purchased Slack Tide.
Seven years of projects large and small.
Seven years of sharing our home with so many wonderful guests.
Seven years of having our own happy place on Chincoteague Island.

Spring Round Up = April 8-9. Slack Tide is here for you!
