Belfast Boatyard and Front Street are hauling almost non-stop, I mentioned to the owner at BBY about it being a great income generator, he smiled. I suspect that he is getting lots of calls from people that aren't his regulars asking to be hauled and he is having to say no as every square inch of parking lot and surrounding area is packed with boats. I'm keeping Shikari on her mooring, even though it is wide open to the south and east I have a 10, 000 lb block of granite on the bottom, new bottom/top chain last year, and new double mooring pennant this year. I also suspect that while there will be wind and rain by the time Irene is passing by the winds should be down to TS strength, I've ridden out storms with those winds before...no big deal.....I feel for all those people on the CT/RI/MA/NY coasts though, what a drag.
