Well, here we wait with bated breath to see if the huricane forcasters who
say it will turn west are correct. If it doesnt turn west then we are dead
in its path.
Tomorrow I will check the lines again and maybe add some new lines. The
pilings are only about 8 feet out of the water and a big surge could put
them under water so I am considering putting two sets of lines on the boat,
the normal ones that are loose on the pilings and will slip off the top if
the surge is high enough and a second set with lots of slack in them that
are tied firmly to the pilings so that a surge high enough to lift the
first set off the pilings will take some of the slack out of the secondary
set to keep the boat centered and not alow it to drift over the pilings.
Anyone ever try this before?
We plan on staying at the house as long as Bret stays below catagory 3 even
if it hits us direct (we are on a bluff 47 feet above sealevel and have a
concrete basement) but if it goes to 4 or above we will leave for higher
ground.
