Then there was Jeane in 04 the second storm we got the full brunt of in Vero in 3 weeks that showed these storms can have a mind of their own.

Starting to get a little "interesting" up here in New England!
Be safe all. Don't be stupid. Even old Hatts can be replaced!

Looking better for us in Fla, but those of you in S.C. and N.C. are now in the bullseye.. Let's hope she just keeps bending to the East...

[Angela]

I wouldnt pull the trigger just yet I kinda think you guys down south will be in the clear.

...and we're finally out of it....I've been up all night stressing over this. Now, I have to figure out how to stay awake the rest of the day. I wonder how many years that just took off my life. I felt this knot in the middle of my chest and back all night long. I need to have a better plan - I just can't take this stress.

Ang,
Look at the bright side..... the peak of hurricane season isn't till next month...
Just consider this a "drill".....

[Pascal]

Jeanne was an intersting one but it was well forecasted all along. The collapse of the steering current and resulting loop, the rebuilding of the ridge shoving her westward, etc

NHC did a great job on Jeanne, they had the bullseye on the FT pierce/Vero area about 4 days prior to landfall giving enough time to move boats south to safety

Well Ang, looks like you're ok but us up here in N.C. are in the bullseye. Think I'm going to haul either wed. afternoon or thurs morning. Doesn't look good with what they're saying. Cat 4 going back down to Cat 3 on landfall. That's enough to get my attention! George, what do you think? I assume you're going to Jarrett Bay tomorrow. Anybody heard from Jack Sardina? Was supposed to be heading up I think this week.

Labrador,

I think Jacks is sitting at the doc's with us in Spooners Creeek Marina, if I'm not mistaken.

[GJH]

I am scheduled to be hauled at Jarrett Bay Friday at noon. Gambling; that will put the boat in a more exposed spot than further up the hill as we will be about the last boat hauled. But if the storm moves away, it can avoid us hauling at all. And, we will be first back in. Last year it took almost two weeks after the Earl false alarm to get back in. Since we are living aboard full time, getting in last and out first is desirable, but who knows what shape the area, the marina or the boat will be in if we get anything close to a direct hit. We had one of our rental units in New Bern vacant last year during Earl, so it wasn't too bad, but now they are all leased up. We are going stay at a friend's house on Lake Gaston about 4 hours away, and that could be wild up there as well.

I just have this sick feeling about this one.

Will spend the next couple of days getting important possessions off the boat and into a storage unit.
