I am old enough to know I did not like the looks of Ida when it was a tropical wave in the Caribbean . I secured Briar Patch Thursday removing both sails and doubled lines. I left town for my son's home in Greenville, SC. The newly completed yacht harbor has floating docks. They really take away (some) of the anxiety that hurricanes present. I have seen a picture of the harbor and there doesn't appear any shredded headsails as last year's lesser hurricane produced. Could not see Briar Patch but I believe she will be there when I return after power is returned, who knows when.
