Right now the hopeful consensus on this monster hurricane is that it will make an early turn to the North and just graze the coast. This would bring only tropical storm to Cat 1 winds possibly topping 80 or so. Very doable.
- Everything has been either removed from the deck and stashed below or very securely tied down.
- Extra heavyweight, double dock lines with chafing gear and spring lines tied to pilings and fenders placed to protect against side pilings.
- We have a good stock of water, food, propane and fuel.
- There is good shelter here and we will have electricity (A/C) till the winds top 40, then the marina will be shutting off the power.
- This is going to be a long storm, possibly 3 days. If all goes well, once any strong winds are past, we will get the boat ready to move and be high tailing it out of here to head for home. There are other possible storms in the Atlantic heading this direction and we are praying for a solid window of opportunity to move out once Dorian passes.
- Our safety and that the boat will not be damaged.
- A window of opportunity to safely head back home
- Peace during this whole ordeal
