Travels with Charley Day 2

On the second day I reached the end of part one.  Part one ends with a climactic sequence of events.  A hurricane strikes Sag Harbor and the residents attempt to prepare.  The narrator expertly ties down his boat, the Fayre Eleyne, in the middle of the harbor.  However, two other boats are tied together near his boat.  He attempts to protest this action, but the owners don't hear or don't care.  The eye of the storm makes its way over Sag Harbor and after that the havoc ensues.  The two boats he was worried about are on a crash course with a neighboring pier and drag the Fayre Eleyne with them.  The narrator heroically rushes in the midst of the storm to save his boat.  He frees his boat and returns it to open water.  He then makes it back to shore to marvel at the remainder of the storm and his recent heroic deeds.
