He thinks I'm crazy...but hey the one time I didn't worry about a storm we got hit! It was only a cat 1, but it did a lot of busy work damage to our house...tiles blown off the roof, fence blown down, shop doors destroyed and trees mangled. So I try and do my part by worrying...it helps all those that don't believe in it! LOL <br /><br />Thanks for asking...I think everything we could do has been done. Maybe when the storm is over we could use a new picture of our little trawler :) We'll be keeping you in our thoughts.Susie Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715975013034531601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-87236593265351241122015-08-28T14:30:23.104-07:002015-08-28T14:30:23.104-07:00Do you need anything checked on your boat?

The NHS said that there is a significant chance that watches and warnings may not be needed in FL. Let's hope that's true!The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-40797903527619734962015-08-28T14:28:35.957-07:002015-08-28T14:28:35.957-07:00Yikes!!

In general Indiantown is probably a good hurricane hole, but it has been hit in the past with significant damage to boats. At least, you shouldn't really get too much of a surge in Indiantown because of the locks. We'll see what pans out over the next couple of days :-)The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-900449669009861112015-08-28T14:26:32.285-07:002015-08-28T14:26:32.285-07:00Thanks Viki!Thanks Viki!The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-6288958827705945562015-08-28T14:09:02.089-07:002015-08-28T14:09:02.089-07:00Our thoughts are in Indiantown too.

If we're lucky it'll move further west before it turns north. Let us know how it goes there. We weathered tropical storm Bill here on Texas Pearl and now it looks like The Pearl will get Erika. The joys of owning boats!

The storm surge breached the breakwater and put my boat on the beach with the stern piling and a piece of the dock still attached. I would have been better off at Indiantown.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780707197853336962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-6449507462990582622015-08-28T03:33:24.978-07:002015-08-28T03:33:24.978-07:00Take care! xxxTake care! xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10654290512610728603noreply@blogger.com
