It's that time again! 1st Named Storm

[Tom Ipock]

Well, I guess the worrying begins early this year. Just saw where Arlene is headed into the Gulf. I can't remember it starting quite this early before. We had Bertha back in 1996 in July, and that was about as early as I can remember. Hope you guys down on the panhandle fare better this year.

Current track predictions have it coming in almost exactly where Ivan did.

Its not very strong, but for those with blue roofs it could be bad. Very bad. There is still a sizeable amount of unrepaired damage in this area.

At present I don't expect to leave my dock, as the winds should not exceed 40-50 knots, but I will be going over and putting on doublers and chafing gear later today or tomorrow.

I have already doubled and dropped all canvas. It is blowing pretty good down here in SE Florida right now. Electra is riding well.
