Here’s a post from Wal Bryant on Stella Blue (Landfall 38) in Mexico (posted

And so it begins. Willa to the North, Vicente to the south. And me in the 
middle. (I think that's a classic quote from Clint Eastwood's 'For a Fistful of 
Dollars.')

The worry is Willa. It's going to hit to the North, and with anticlockwise 
rotation the wind and swell is going to come straight from the Southwest. The 
Bay is wide open from that direction, and yesterday Mike Michael Eric 
Danielson
 at PV Sailing said the swell forecast was for 20 foot swells. I've sailed my 
boat through 20 foot seas, and used the EFF word a few times. Having them hit 
shallow water and slam into the breakwater will be something to watch. I think 
it's entirely possible that waves will wash over the breakwater into the 
marina. The breakwater itself is relatively new, and hasn't filled in with sand 
and sediment. When there is surge outside, boats inside still move around. A 
lot.

So I spent today adding dock lines, and setting up spare dock lines, and taping 
around hatches that have leaky gaskets, and making an inventory of rope. I have 
more rope on this boat than is reasonable. People laugh at me. But once, a 
couple of years ago, a barge broke loose and I had 400 feet of rope. It came in 
handy.

As soon as I was done getting my lines and my backup lines ready, the rain 
started. The hurricane is still two days off. This is just the outer fringe.

Walking around this morning, I seemed to be the only one preparing. I saw 
someone doing brightwork (varnishing teak.) I mentioned the situation to 
someone else, and she said "We talked to Long-Timers and they said it's no big 
deal." Well, I've been in Pacific Mexico for nine years, and this is only the 
second time I've set up to get hit by sh_t. And it's the first time I've pulled 
a couple of lines over to the pilings two feet above the spring tide high water 
mark.

I've seen 50 with gusts to 70, and that was at anchor where the boat was 
pointed into the wind. I'm really not worried about wind, I'm worried about 
wind swell.

I think tomorrow a bunch of people will be running around in the rain doing 
what I did this morning. I'll be inside the boat making sure my bilge pumps are 
clear and the through hulls are closed and the last minute details are done. 
Then I'll adjust the lines to move the boat boat away from the dock, put on my 
Helly Hansen jacket and hope that the people who said "It's nothing" were right 
and I was totally wrong. I really hope that all I've done is give my spare dock 
lines a good rinse.

Let’s wish him luck.
