Wow, Norm! I didn’t realize you drove up! I just assumed you cruised up and were sitting in a friend’s borrowed RV. I’d tell you then to drive to OB but at this point there’s not a whole hell of a lot of space in the yard. They starting hauling boats on an accelerated based once it appeared that Sandy was going to pay us a visit. I was out there this afternoon to strip the jib and dodger off the boat to prep for the storm. Since I’ve got that “Stack Pak” arrangement on the main, and the biggest threat seems to be high tides and rain. Current forecast are calling for sustained 40-50 kts Monday afternoon with some possible gusts to 70 but that’s about it. That kind of wind still gets your attention but I just spiral wrapped the main around the boom, put some chafe around the mooring lines as they come over the gunnel to the cleats and called it a day.
As opposed to Irene, last year, the biggest worry folks have is downed powerlines and excessive flooding. One of the problems is that it looks like Sandy will arrive on a Full Moon (or close enough) so the spring tides could wreak major havoc.

We do miss OB and all the other stops we usually enjoy on the water but this year we had to drive up north in our little motorhome. Jan says Hi...
