Batten the hatches east coast steady as she blows. I've prepared all day, everything is lashed tightly, my potable water tanks are topped off, my batteries are getting a little extra charge right now, I have block ice laid in, and my ice box full of enough food/drink to last a few days. I am more concerned about the boat than the house, so I will ride it out there. I am still on the hard waiting out this little series of storms, but I am the second boat in from the sea wall so I will get the brunt of the surge. I brought my motor up today, if I start to ride off the cradle I will have power. I draw much less than all the boats around me so I will be the first to float free. I have her stay sail ready to hoist if the A-Bomb craps out on me. All I can do is hope for the best and be there to take care of her. I am wound pretty tight right now, I waited because I thought it would make her safer, bad . We are supposed to get sustained winds of 50 knots, and 3-6 inches of rain in 3-4 hours, followed by what will be close to spring tide... we should get the surge a little after 9 tomorrow morning. Sending you all the best, hang tough. Toss Neptune a little rum to keep Wind-Rose safe.

Best wishes I remember Agnes, and Camille.

Arrgh, me hearties The critter, Wind-Rose and I are all safe. We are all soaked thru and the critter and I are ready for some hot food and a long nap. Thanks for the kind words of support, it has been a long and restless night and day, we are still getting lots of wind and rain but the worst has blown passed us. Hope this finds the rest of you safe and dry. It is still tracking east so maybe you guys north of me will not get as much.

Glad you and dog are safe, BR
