Earl: Buoy Reports 49-Foot Waves, 101 MPH Winds

http://www.accuweather.com/blogs/weathe ... -winds.asp <- Might not want to be out in that. I wonder what a 49 foot wave feels like on a 27ft boat :)

Head down Thursday AM to strip off the canvas, sails and double up some lines.

That way it won't even touch us.....

Yup. This was yesterday AM. Guarantees now that we won't get more than a nice breezy day :-/ Going back in the water Monday, at least I'll get to clean the ecosystem off the bottom!

That reminds me... I saw another Marlin on a mooring in Boothbay Harbor. Yours is better.

All put to bed and everything stowed.

So the tidewater area of Virginia can breath easy now.

But not many other people seem to give a damn....


Tide was already 2+ over normal high and lapping the bottom of the finger piers when I left.
