"READY ABOUT"


The boatyard is quickly filling up with boats. The dock is buzzing with boat owners that we haven't seen in ages. We have stripped Fidelis of it's canvas, and doubled the lines at the dock. If the storm gets too bad, we will be staying with a local family (Mary Ann and Walt) here, until everything blows over. We don't expect Hanna to be too bad, however, Ike looks to be extremely powerful, blowing at 140 mph. Looks like sailing for the next few weekends (during the best sailing month of the year) may be interupted with these storms.
We will probably not be able to post once the storm is near.
We'll keep in touch as soon as we can.
In the meantime, http://towndock.net/ has a great hurricane tracking feature that's extremely useful, as well as an active radar for the local area, so we should be able to see everything coming well ahead of time.

Batten down the hatches.
