Hurricane Irene is headed our way and should be here tomorrow.
In preparation, stripped the boat of all stuff that would create more windage - sails, canvas, etc. and added extra storm lines. Now all we can do is wait and see what Irene brings. The forecast calls for tropical storm winds with hurricane gusts. And if that was not enough to make one concerned, the tidal surge is expected to hit at high tide - an astronomical high tide already. The marina has warned about mandatory evacuations - that is a first.
Okay, the boat is as ready as it can be. The prep on the house is underway. All batts (laptop, nook. phone, etc) are charged. Now we keep our fingers crossed and wait.
