well it seems the storms have started, this first one is said to be bringing 60mph winds by this weekend. the good thing is I'm deap in a hurricane hole and will know today if I need to drive to the coast.

How are you prepaired Cliar? we are now up Broad Creek at Paradise Cove Marina.

If you want to shave off 20mph and ship them to the upper midwest, I know a couple folks on the board that would enjoy that wind

The outboard is getting overused

On the brightside this means it will begin the slow cool down to more human temps and the resumption of sailing for me at least.

Banshi, you mean temps like this ? My #1 reason was not sailing last week.

Mario, hope Colin curves back out to sea before getting to the coast..

Hmm, We are planning on sailing tomorrow. The expected weather here is a high of 72deg with winds 5-15mph. I might even break a sweat.

Yeah and some humidity thrown in to add to the misery (would not want any of that sweat evaporating off cooling you down either)

What's worse I work in it most of the day.....................................

Just got a couple of things to tidy up on the boat so I am ready to hit the water when it cools off.

Mario,
We should be in good shape. We are on Cabin Creek just off Bay River. Well protected. We are about 1/2 mile straight up from Bonner Bay. Paridise Cove should be a secure location. By the way, the owners of Paridise Cove are good friends of Jeff... Windward. I've been wanting to go to the Friday night pot luck there but have never made it. Our house is about 5 mins. from there.
Clair
PS anyone heard from Jeff?

Paradise Cove? No way! Tell Paul and E (Rose) that Jeff (Windward) said hi. I'm afraid I'll miss them when I'm down that way in October for a two week sail -- believe Paul has a charter then -- but he's one of my favorite people. Well done finding them![/img]

Jeff how Lucky are we for finding Paul and Rose. LOL as I said I'm a a great marina now (even with out the camera) Paul has been great to talk to and the stories that rose was telling us. Her and the 1st mate hit it off I will tell them you say hello and hope to see you when you come down, there is now a Chrysler C-26 nesseled there.

I think we are headed there this weekend
