I really like this solution being a motor head at heart (except I'm going to
be saying "Porsha Porches" in my sleep tonite...).

I'm one who feels that salt water is poluted (think WC Fields here) so I
would work on augmenting the  ponding on the porshes (sic)  to provide
freshwater pools.

Vineyard Is Much Better (give me Lake Winnipesaukee anyday)

P.S.  Alternate solution that requires tool purchase/rental/borrowing:  Take
one gas-driven concrete saw (Target being the mfr of choice--makes lots of
obnoxious noise!), cut grooves in the concrete to the edges (assuming there
are no walls around the edges or at least they have pass-throughs).  In time
(if it hasn't happened already) the concrete will crack along these grooves,
water will get in, freeze/thaw will take place, widening the cracks,
improving the drainage...  :-)

This appears to be the House of Porches. Rather than spend money on long
masonry bits and a solution to drainage I -- for one -- do not understand,
how about investing in several actual or replicated Porsche 356 Sportsters?
While the "bathtubs" are upside down, they may help shed the rain. And,
then, among that fine company you cite, you could claim to be the only
islander with a Porsche on every porch. And, I could say...this appears to
be the House of Porsche Porches.

Then again, one of the less dilated BPers may have a real answer to your
question. Check me out in two weeks -- back from vacation and a bit more
focused....
