Finally got good enough ocean conditions today to get the kayak out to assess the damage to the Indialantic buoy and retrieve the transmitter. Only minor damage to the buoy itself but it did flood. We had hoped to get all the storm data off the transmitter but unfortunately the flooding caused intermittent communications with the wavegage so we only got 3 additional data points during the storm and won't get the rest until we recover the wavegage. The last transmission from the buoy was at 10/6 23:00 EDT at 12.5 ft. The last data received by the transmitter was at 10/7 04:30 EDT with the wave height measuring 18.7 ft!!!!
