Aye, mate. The Navy has an understated way of announcing prep for a storm at sea:
"Tooweeeweeeeet -- Now cover over...cover over all hatches and gun barrels...prepare for a fresh water wetdown" AKA battening. Overusers of "battening" and "hunkering" are the young, dumb TV reporters, looking to make their chops with "on the scene" reports of a hurricane's "actual" strength, usually from a relatively tame remote location where there's little wind and rain and no airborne debris. I like to see one strap himself to something solid and ride out a Category 5 from start to finish. Now that would be something to write home about. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
