PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY -
They're riding out Ida at Jordan Point Yacht Haven in Prince George County.
The James River lapped at the docks and finally sunk many of them as high tide came in just before noon.
Some who have boats moored at the marina weren't able to get to their boats because the river has washed over the docks, even at low tide.
What's left of Ida took many along the James River by surprise.
"I thought all we were going to have was rain" says June Winn, Co-owner of Jordan Point Yacht Haven who says hours before high tide, the damage was starting.
"All my fixed docks have gone under, broken loose, sort of floating. My land storage was under water and we're picking up everything in our store because we expect water to be higher tonight" she says from inside the company store.
In Nottoway County, the Appomattox River crested out of its banks along Farmville's Town limits.
But many say while its rising, it's still too far to be a threat but they'll keep a close eye on the river anyway.
Boat owners at Jordan Point are doing the same thing like Scott Haddock who lives on his boat.
"It is scary, it really worries me, it's my home" says Haddock who will stay with his boat instead of heading for a hotel like some others who don't won't to ride out the storm.
While most of the boats are tied to floating docks for a measure of safety, it's not the rising water that is the concern of boat owners.
"I've been watching the weather, just kind of concerned about what's going to happen. We've been having water rising up, debris floating up. I think basically what I'm worried about most is the debris" says Haddock who is ready to do battle with debris armed with a paddle and a hook.
