We're lucky. The owners of the boatyard where I keep Penniless are 
conservative. They called and said if I wasn't going to be around to take care 
of my boat, could they?  I am here but moved the boat to a better location 
while they pulled many boats and secured the rest rather well.

And.... we don't have anyone who doesn't use his/her boat a few times a year, 
the owner will just yank it out and park it somewhere and send them the bill. 
Anybody with a roller furler has it down. A couple of boats have their mains 
still on but wrapped like a xmas package.

Fortunately the wind is from the northwest, so the tide isn't that bad.
And, as Sandy moves more north, our wind will move more west, which says it 
won't get too much worse.

  Tom,

  Wish you the best.  I'm on the West River, just south of Annapolis.  I 
secured mine on Saturday, and like you, couldn't believe the number of people 
who do absolutely nothing to their boats.  I saw over a dozen boats with sails 
still on the roller furler.  I put extra lines on the tub next to me because I 
know that owner won't do anything.  I've only seen him once in 3 years.  He had 
two spring lines on the boat that had simply rotted away.

    It is rather interesting to be in the path of the storm and feel totally 
helpless if it hits as predicted. Frolic II, C&C 36, is in her slip in Bohemia 
Bay Yacht Harbor which is between the C&D Canal and the upper Chesapeake Bay. I 
spent most of Saturday doing what could be done to remove everything and tie 
her down securely. A surge of 8' or more will cause havoc with all of the boats 
in the marina. An interesting observation on Saturday was the number of boat 
owners that never felt the need for an extra effort to protect their boats.
     
    Thanks to everyone for their Good Luck wishes.
