Steve, from what I can tell this morning, you shouldn't be in too bad shape. Right now it appears that we're going to get some rain and wind on Friday and that's that. The bulk of the storm appears forecasted to slide way south of us so doubling up lines and adding a lot of fenders should work fine. At this point I'm not even planning to go out tomorrow to remove anything like the jib or dodger or bimini. The more nasty stuff is "supposed" to be well east of our area.
Which doesn't mean, of course, that I won't be glued to the weather channels between now and then <grins>!
