Hurricane Prep
Perhaps it will be gentle...
We spent the day today getting the boat ready for the winds tomorrow.
we tied up the sails, cleared the deck, tied down the dinghy, put out two
lines on each cleat for 2 aft and 1 forward spring, 2 stern lines and three
bow lines. We cleaned out all the cockpit scuppers, and re-filled the
tanks with water again. Then Moonshine took us shopping so we stocked up
on food at Walmart and got the chain for the centerboard. Then when we got
back I put fire hose and other anti-chafing gear on any line I thought
might need it. I put out the 4 new bumpers and also gave some rope to our
neighbor to help him tie up. I'm a bit worried that the boat next to us is
going to loose his stern and crash into us. I'll keep a close eye on him.
Sam has a video posted on youtube already about our prep for the storm.
